4 Changes that Affect Social Security Disability Insurance

In a report from Disabled World, there are 4 changes that now affect SSDI. Social Security disability benefits may be available if you have been disabled or expect to be disabled for 12 months. Disability benefits can help cover your lost earnings.

The first is that the baby boomer generation has reached its peak when it comes to the age of disability. This means a large number of them will be in need of disability benefits.

The second change is that more and more individuals are becoming disabled earlier in life. This can be especially difficult for those who are still raising families.

The third change is that with more women entering the workforce, more are insured by SSDI.

The fourth change pertains to women as well. While at one time they were less likely to become disabled, when compared to men, they are now in line with them.

With these changes, the potential for a lengthy claims process is high and when your application is denied, this only delays things further. According to a 2011 Rand Institute study, 70% to 80% of applicants are denied disability. Many of them will go through the appeals process.

If you believe that you were wrongfully denied disability benefits, seek assistance from a Fort Lauderdale Social Security disability attorney. An attorney may be able to help with your appeal.
