The Social Security Administration (SSA) doesn’t make it easy for those who are disabled to get the Social Security Disability benefits they deserve. There are many myths I hear about the Social Security disability application process.
Myth Busting: Social Security Disability
1. It’s easy to qualify for Social Security Disability benefits. That is a myth!
Fact: The Social Security Administration uses the Five Step Sequential Evaluation in every Social Security Disability case.
You must show:
- You have a medical condition that would cause you to be disabled for at least twelve months, or result in your death;
- Have a severe impairment;
- Meet a medical Listing, or alternatively;
- Establish that you cannot go back to the lightest job that you held in the last fifteen years; and
- Unable to perform any job based on the national economy based on your age, education and transferable skills.
2. It’s easy to get Social Security Disability benefits. That is a myth.
Fact: The SSA denies more than 2/3 of the initial Social Security Disability applications and nearly 2/3 of Request for Reconsideration.
Ultimately, many Social Security applicants are awarded disability benefits once they are in front of a Social Security Disability Judge.
It’s not easy to get Social Security Disability benefits particularly if your not represented.
That’s a difficult test and you will have a better chance of meeting it with the assistance of Social Security Disability attorney.
