Social Security and Disability
Under the federal Social Security Disability Act, “disability” means the inability to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or is expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months.
Social Security disability benefits or SSD are paid to individuals who have worked in recent years. Usually you have to work five out of the last ten years. However, even if you have not worked five out of the last ten years before becoming disabled there may be exceptions for you to qualify for benefits. For individuals under 31 years old, the requirements are a little different because they have not been in the work force as long.
Even if your claim has already been denied we may be able to help.
