For those who have been injured and are unable to return to work, Social Security Disability can be a big help. If you have paid into Social Security for five of the last ten years and have a qualifying mental or physical disability, you are considered “insured,” or able to receive Social Security benefits.
Your eligibility and the length of time you will receive the benefits will be determined based on your type of disability, medical information, your age, work history, education, vocational training, and any special skills you may possess.
Helping you through the systemNavigating the confusing maze of Social Security benefits by yourself can be difficult, and that might be an understatement. Almost 90 percent of Social Security Disability claims are denied the first time around. That means many people who legitimately have disabilities and need those benefits are going without. Frustrated and not understanding the process, they give up.
If your social security benefits have been denied, now is not the time to give up. Instead, make a call to Pulgini & Norton, your New Bedford Disability Attorney.
