Disability benefits through Social Security programs are designed to help you stay afloat financially despite your condition. To determine your disability eligibility and amount, the SSA will evaluate:
- The severity of your condition
- Your working history and ability to continue working
- Tax contributions to Social Security
Under certain circumstances, you may qualify for both SSI and SSDI. For help in obtaining the maximum benefits, consulting with a trained disability expert is one of the best steps you can take.
Even if you’ve been denied benefits, disability consultants can help you reverse that decision and get the maximum benefits you deserve.
