http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Security_Disability_Insu... "a person qualifies for SSDI if:
they have a physical or mental condition that prevents them from engaging in any "substantial gainful activity" ("SGA"), and
the condition is expected to last at least 12 months or result in death, and
they are under the age of 65, and
generally, they have accumulated 20 social security credits in the last 10 years prior to the onset of disability"... "Applicants may hire a lawyer to help them apply or appeal...
Most SSDI applicants—about 90 percent according to the SSA—have a disability representative for their appeal" "The Social Security Administration estimates that the initial benefits application will take 90 to 120 days, but in practice filings can take up to eight months to complete. The appeals process for denied filings can likewise take 90 days to well over a year to get a hearing, depending on caseloads." "In 2013, the average monthly disability payment was $1,132 and highest on record was $2,533" Is that something you would want to rely on? |
