Who is Eligible for Disability Benefits?
|
Any disabled adult under the age of 65 is eligible for Disability Insurance Benefits, provided they have worked 5
of the last 10 years. Children of disabled adults (who are drawing Disability Insurance Benefits), who prove to
be disabled are eligible to draw Disability Insurance Benefits under their parent's record. Disabled widows or
widowers between the ages of 50 and 60 may be eligible to draw benefits from their deceased spouse's Social
Security record, if the spouse was eligible to draw Disability Insurance Benefits.
Any disabled person (including children) under the age of 65 who has not worked 5 of the last 10 years can
be eligible.
If you are eligible and receive Disability Insurance Benefits, then after you have been receiving these benefits
for 24 months, you are eligible to receive a Medicare card, for a nominal amount, which will be withheld from your
monthly benefits. If you are eligible and receive Supplemental Security Income you are eligible to receive a
Medicaid card immediately after being approved for benefits.for Supplemental Security Income, provided they are
income and resource eligible.

How Do I Apply for Disability?
|
|
If you have not yet applied for disability, our law firm will be glad to assist you. At your first conference with
our office, we will contact the Social Security Administration for you to set up your application. We will assist
you in completing the forms so you can apply for disability. This includes the application itself, which requests
information about your work history, condition of disability (physical and/or mental), treatment history, medications,
educational background, and other information as requested by the Social Security Administration. Sometimes it is
difficult for our clients to handle this by themselves, and this is why we are here to help begin your case.

I Have No Insurance!
|
How Can I Get Medical Documentation If I Cannot Afford a Physician?
Our law firm has worked with hundreds of claimants without insurance or money to pay a physician.
We provide referrals to various agencies that can help document your claim. We can also request that
the Social Security Administration obtain consultative reports if we feel this will be helpful in
your claim. We can still help you win your claim so do not despair!
