How Does the Government Define Disability?

Social Security Disability Law Firm

If an injury or illness has made it impossible for you to earn a living, you may qualify for financial assistance from the Social Security Administration (SSA). This monthly payment is called Social Security Disability (SSD). That said, it’s actually a lot harder to get approved for SSD than you might think. The SSA has a strict set of guidelines for what types of disabilities are awarded financial assistance. The legal definition of disability is more specific under Social Security than other federal programs. A Social Security Disability Attorney can help guide you through the process.

In order to get approved for SSD, your disability must be expected to last at least 12 months or until death. Your condition also must be severe enough you cannot work or transition to another job. The Social Security Administration knows that there are people out there who try to take advantage of the system, so they make the process of qualifying lengthy and complex, often leaving Alabama residents worried about how they will make everyday expenses.

When Should I Apply for Social Security Disability?

Walton Law LLC Social Security Disability

Social Security Disability cases can last months, if not longer, and the truth is, over 70% of initial applications are denied. If your case is denied and you file an appeal, that’s a process that could drag on and on. That’s why it’s our advice to apply for SSD as soon as possible. This may mean as soon as your monthly income falls below the government’s minimum listed amount, or the day you stop working.

As a Social Security Disability lawyer, I know exactly what it takes to ensure your initial application has the required information and evidence to back up your claim and have the best chance to get approved. If you’ve been denied and want to appeal, Trusted Social Security Attorneys at Walton Law LLC will guide you every step of the way, making the process as quick and seamless as possible.

Can I Afford a Social Security Attorney?

Social Security Attorney's Help

No matter the Alabama Social Security attorney you hire to help get your Social Security Disability benefits, the fees are regulated by the Social Security Administration. Your Social Security Attorney is required to file everything with the Social Security Administration and you will pay nothing out of pocket.

The majority of the time, the SSA will approve payments for legal services of no more than 25 percent of benefits or $6,000, whichever is less. This doesn’t take into consideration additional fees your attorney might need to expense, such as obtaining medical evaluations or filing paperwork, but these fees are usually nominal.
Social Security Attorney Randy Walton handles SSD applications and appeals every single day. He knows what your SSD application needs and the way that information should be presented to get you approved.

Frequently Asked Questions

How soon can I start receiving disability benefits?

For Social Security Disability (SSD), benefits begin after five full months from the established date of your disability. This date is established by the Social Security Administration and may be the date you indicated as the “alleged onset date” of your disability in your application. For Social Security Disability (SSD), benefits begin after five full months.

How is the amount of my benefit determined?

For Social Security Disability (SSD), benefits begin after five full months from the established date of your disability. This date is established by the Social Security Administration and may be the date you indicated as the “alleged onset date” of your disability in your application. For Social Security Disability (SSD), benefits begin after five full months.

How do I apply for Social Security Disability or Supplemental Security Income?

There are three ways to apply for Social Security benefits:
  1. You can go into your local Social Security office and apply in person.
  2. You can apply online at the Social Security Administration’s website.
  3. You can call the Social Security Administration at 1-800-772-1213 and apply over the phone.

How does the SSA determine if I’m eligible for benefits?

The examiner in charge of your case is tasked with asking five questions:
  1. Are you currently working?
  2. Is your condition severe enough to prevent you from working?
  3. Is your condition listed on the SSA’s list of approved impairments?
  4. Will you be able to do the work you were doing in the next 12 months?
  5. Can you transition to any other type of work?

If I was turned down for disability, is there any reason to appeal?

The short answer is yes. Individuals who have been turned down are the majority of cases a Social Security lawyer works with. Many claims are denied because they are simply lacking the required documentation to get approval. We can help ensure your claim is backed up with solid evidence showing you should be eligible for disability.

Is Social Security for both mental and physical disabilities?

Absolutely. While a lot of disability insurance policies limit mental health benefits to 24 months, Social Security Disability doesn’t differentiate between mental and physical impairments. In fact, many approved claims include both mental and physical conditions.

Can I receive Social Security Disability benefits if I’ll be able to work again in the future?

Yes. The Social Security Administration requires your disability to be extreme enough that it will limit your ability to work for 12 months.

Can I go back to work if I’m receiving Social Security Disability?

The Social Security Administration wants you to be able to return to the work force in a healthy way. That said, they have strict regulations for how much income you’re able to receive while getting benefits. If you start to earn above that amount, your benefits will likely be revoked.

If approved, are members of my family eligible to receive Social Security Disability benefits?

Every case varies, but oftentimes dependents under 18 will be eligible to receive benefits. Typically your dependents will split an amount equal to 50% of your disability check.

What if I’m going to become eligible for other Social Security programs soon?

The good news is that if you become eligible for other Social Security benefits (retirement, for example) your monthly financial assistance will not change. The allocated amount will just transfer and begin coming from whichever program you’re now eligible for. --- If you have more questions, our southern Alabama law office is located less than 3 miles from Knoll Park, 5 miles away from Village Point Park Preserve, and about 8 minutes away from Fairhope Municipal Park.
