Get the Insider Scoop on SSA Disability Application Process

Applying for Social Security disability benefits is often a complicated and time-consuming task. As such, it's helpful to enlist the services of a qualified disability attorney who can guide you through the process and help you to take advantage of any special circumstances or program rules that will make it easier for you to get the benefits that you need and deserve.

Listed below are a few details about the Social Security Administration's disability benefits program that you may wish to discuss with your attorney: 

• Disability applicants who are legally blind are usually allowed a larger personal income maximum than most applicants
• The procedure for obtaining benefits is not the same for disabled adults as it is for disabled children
• If your condition is not on the list of qualifying disabilities, it may still be covered; but it may take longer to complete the process
• More than 80 diseases call for faster processing of applications through the Compassionate Allowances program
• Those in the military who are now disabled, either after October 1, 2001 or during active duty, may also enjoy faster processing of their application

 These special rules do not apply to the majority of applicants, but it is beneficial to find out if they apply to you or your loved one. A disability attorney can help to answer your questions about your specific circumstances.
