  • If you have enough work credits apply for (SSDI).
    Otherwise, you can apply for (SSI). Workers who
    pay into the Social Security program usually
    receive four credits per year. On the other side,
    to qualify for SSI payments your household income
    and assets will need to be below a certain level.

Do You Have Proper Medical Evidence?
  • You can fill your disability claim only based
    on your Medical Evidence. It plays vital role for
    receiving Social Security Disability benefits. So
    get all copies of your medical record before
    filling your disability claim.

Will Your Doctor Provide a Statement?
  • If your doctor provides you written statement
    about your condition and disability. It will be
    very beneficial for you to be approved for
    disability benefits. So contact with your doctor
    regarding this before applying for disability
    benefits.

Do You Need to Get Treatment?
  • Some people think that if they do not follow
    recommended treatment they can easily get social
    security disability benefits. It can true because
    SSA is unlikely to approve your claim for
    disability benefits if you do not follow
    recommend treatment options.

Do You Have to Attend the Consultative Exam?
  • Consultative exam helps to determine the
    extent of your disability condition. The SSA can
    request you to go for the consultative exam in
    some cases. You can easily receive disability
    payments if you go for the consultative exam.

Can I Work While Applying for Disability?
  • Yes!!! Sure you can do work while applying for
    disability because there is not any law that
    allows you not to do work. But you can reduce the
    chances to get benefits by doing this because you
    are applying for benefits due to your disability
    to work.
