You Do Not Have To Be Bedridden In Order To Be Disabled
Many people believe they must be completely disabled in order to receive Social Security disability benefits. Sadly, they go for years in severe pain without realizing they may have a pretty good chance at winning their case. Case Study:
Filing Multiple Times For Social Security Disability Benefits.
One of the things I continuously hear in regards to filing for Social Security disability is that, “you may have to file a couple of times in order to win your case.”
This is only partially correct and here’s why:
What You Need To Know To File For SSD Benefits
Do you believe you have a physical or mental condition that keeps you from working?
Here are the basics for what you need to know to file for SSD benefits:
(1) You cannot be working and earning more that $1,130.00 per month if you are not blind. If you are blind and working, you cannot make more than $1,820.00 per month. If you are working and earning over these amounts, then you will not qualify for Social Security disability benefits.
Multiple Sclerosis and Social Security Disability Benefits.
Depending upon what type of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) a person has, may have an impact on when and if he or she can qualify for Social Security disability benefits. Many people are affected by this debilitating disease, but how they are affected determines when and if they may be able to qualify for benefits. While some are minimally affected, other experience a rapid progression to being totally disabled.
Physical Limitations Can Win Your Social Security Disability Case.
In determining whether or not you will be able to win your Social Security disability case, you may have heard that basically you must be able to prove that you are incapable of doing even sedentary work due to your physical impairments.
For the most part this is true, but the reality is that the determination as to whether or not you are disabled is quite a bit more complicated.
Why Proper Medical Evidence Is So Critical
This is to explain why proper medical evidence is so critical to winning your Social Security disability claim. The Social Security Administration states, “Medical evidence is the cornerstone of the disability determination under both title II and title XVI programs.” Thus, in order to qualify under either or both for SSI and SSDI benefits, anyone who has filed a disability claim with the Social Security Administration must be prepared to present solid medical evidence to back up his or her claim.
