Applying for disability benefits might seem like a complicated process, but we’re here to assure you that it’s not with help! An Orlando Social Security lawyer can help walk you through your application.
1) Understand If You’re Eligible For Disability Benefits
The Social Security Administration (SSA) decides if you’re considered to be disabled. If you are out of work, and if your condition has significantly limited your ability to complete basic work activities, such as walking and sitting for at least a year, then you may be considered disabled. The SSA also references a list of impairments in which you may be considered to be disabled. Be sure to review this list with an Orlando Social Security lawyer before beginning an SSDI claim.2) Review the Requirements For Your Social Security Disability Claim
Once you and your lawyer have determined if you’re eligible for benefits, some of the information you’ll need to file your claim is as follows:- Social Security number
- Proof of age
- Doctor names, addresses, and phone numbers, plus hospitals, clinics, and caseworkers that took care of you
- Medication names and dosages you’re taking
- Medical records
- A summary of your places of work and the type of work you completed
