Social Security is an insurance system designed to help with financial hardships throughout life, not just after retirement. If you are unable to work due to a disease or injury, you may be eligible for Social Security Disability benefits regardless of your age. However these claims are not always approved, in which case you might have a valid Social Security Disability case and will need a Social Security lawyer.
You may be eligible for Social Security Disability benefits if you are unable to work anymore due to one of the following:
- Breathing problems
- Chronic heart disease
- Obesity
- Mental disorders
- Blindness or deafness
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Seizures despite the use of medication
- Cancer
- Immune system disorders
- Neurological disorders
- Extreme psoriasis involving hands and feet
- Multiple sclerosis
- Other severe medical conditions
WHAT IS SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY INSURANCE?
As the chief benefit of the Social Security Act, disability insurance is a program in which employees contribute from each paycheck to a fund designed to help those who fall out of the workforce into disability. The Social Security Administration reviews each case of those claiming disability so those who truly need financial support receive it.
