Do Social Security Disability Benefits Improve Mortality Rates?

When a severe medical condition prevents you from working, you may be entitled to receive Social Security disability benefits. A Florida Social Security disability attorney can assist you if you need help in applying for disability benefits or if you have been denied benefits.

According to a report from Phys Org, researchers from New York Medical College have found a connection between Social Security benefits and mortality rates in the U.S. Their findings suggest that with better disability benefits comes a longer life.

This new study, found in the Journal of Public Health Policy, illustrates that those who are over the age of 65 had a decline in the rate of mortality when their Social Security disability benefits improved.

Researchers suggest that while the federal government looks at cutting away at Social Security, there are benefits that are overlooked such as improved health and a reduction in poverty.

Many first-time applicants for Social Security disability benefits are denied. With the help of a Social Security disability attorney you stand a better chance at having your application accepted the first time around.

If you need assistance in applying for Social Security disability benefits or if you have been denied benefits and want to know how to go about appealing your claim, you should immediately speak with a Social Security disability attorney.
