Consult a disability attorney to understand how different benefits interact and maximize your payments.

Signs you may be approved for Social Security Disability benefits include:

  • You have a clear medical diagnosis that prevents you from working.

  • You have a consistent treatment history showing your condition hasn’t improved despite treatment.
  • Your condition meets or equals a listing in the SSA’s Blue Book.

    Having these factors does not guarantee approval, but they significantly strengthen your case. If you’re unsure about your eligibility, consult an experienced disability attorney to review your application before submission. “

To qualify for Social Security Disability benefits, you must have a medical condition that significantly limits your ability to work for at least 12 months or is expected to result in death. The Social Security Administration reviews your medical records, work history, and ability to perform any substantial gainful activity. Navigating these requirements can be complex, as eligibility standards are outlined in detailed regulations.
