Disability Benefits Lawyers

Applying for disability benefits is difficult and problematic. You must be ready for a fight.

Qualification for Disability Benefits

Disability benefits are not paid for partial or short-term disabilities. You may qualify for benefits if you are under 65 and:

• You are unable to do your work, or do any other work because of your medical condition;


• The disability is expected to last at least a year or result in your death; and


• You have sufficient work credits for your age

If you have access to workers compensation, insurance, savings and investments you may not qualify for disability benefits. When you turn 65, disability benefits convert to retirement benefits. These are according to Social Security Disability Administration.

The work requirement for disability benefits is different from the work requirement for retirement benefits. Most people who have been working steadily for five years or more just before their disability began will meet the requirement.
