Disability attorney thoughts
Q: How do you know if you are eligible to apply for social security disability benefits? A: A person is eligible to apply for social security disability benefits if he has a mental or medical condition that is expected to prevent him from working for a minimum of twelve months. If you are able to continue working in some capacity, but will not be able to earn more than $980 before taxes per month, you will also be eligible to apply. You will not be eligible if your income will be above the SSA limit or your condition will not keep you from working for at least a year. A social security attorney can advise you, if you have any concerns or confusion about qualifying for benefits. Q: If your doctor is not supportive of your decision to apply for disability, should you find a new one? A: One of the biggest things that can affect the likelihood that you will be awarded disability benefits is the statement your doctor will provide on your behalf.
