New Government Website Provides Information About Disabilities

The Social Security Administration (SSA) is attempting to provide information about the medical conditions and disabilities that are covered under the SSA disability benefits programs.

According to eNews Park Forest, Commissioner of Social Security, Michael J. Astrue, announced that the SSA's official Website will provide links to sites that offer information about various disabilities, as well as resources on how to obtain prescription drugs for lower prices.

While the site will now provide important medical information, it is by no means a replacement for the individual medical examinations that you must get in order to build a complete medical history. Your disability attorney needs these medical records in order to establish a body of evidence to fight for your disability case.

Having a complete medical history and solid case are particularly important right now as there are more than 3 million applicants this year for both SSI and SSDI combined. You can find a link to the health Websites via the SSA's official Website.

If you or your loved one are suffering from a severe physical or mental disability, you should contact a Social Security Disability lawyer immediately to learn about your rights and determine eligibility. The process of securing Social Security Disability Insurance benefits and/or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) can be difficult and overwhelming. Don't go it alone!
