AN IDEAL CANDIDATE FOR SOCIAL SECURITY DISABIILTY

People from all walks of life, all different ages, and with different medical impairments may get Social Security Disability (SSDI) benefits.  Some have stronger claims than others.

If I could choose the "perfect" mythical candidate for SSDI benefits, this is what the case would look like:

• The claimant has worked at one job (or a couple of jobs) for many years--a strong, steady work history.
•  
• He/she has worked at least 5 years out of the past 10-year period.  (Necessary to be "covered" for SSDI).

• He or she has recently stopped working because of a severe medical condition. (Cannot be working now).

• The medical condition has lasted, or is expected to last, for at least 12 straight months. 

•  There is adequate medical treatment, and recent, that shows the onset, duration and severity of the illness or impairment.  In short, there are good medical records that are up to date.

•  The claimant does not have a history of sedentary work (jobs performed mostly from a seated position).

•  An added bonus:  The claimant is at least 50 years old.  (Many people under 50 do get SSDI, though).  

Let me point out that very few claimants will meet ALL of the above factors.  But these are the things we look at when evaluating an SSDI case to determine how strong the case is.

Winning the case is like putting together a jig-saw puzzle.  There are lots of pieces and you have to short out each one and put it into it's proper place.  

The good news is that our firm will provide a free case evaluation at no cost, no obligation.  We will sit down with you (or do a phone consult) to look at the case and point out the strengths and weaknesses.  If we feel your case has merit, we will offer to represent you in your quest for benefits.
