You’re too ill to work, or you’ve got too many things wrong with you to work at your old job -right? Well, that may possibly be, but it may not be enough to win your Social Security disability case. The reality is that everyone who files for Social Security disability has some kind of condition or impairment, but many will be denied because of a number of different reasons.
Do you know your Date of Last Insured (DOL)? If you don’t know it, you should. It’s very important and it could determine whether you are determined to be disabled by the Social Security Administration.
It’s important to understand the process your Social Security disability claim will go through to make a determination of whether a person is disabled. For those new to the system, the thought of going through such can seem daunting.
If you have been denied twice when seeking Social Security disability benefits, then you know it is time to file an appeal for a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ).
There are many people with really bad conditions in which any amount of medical treatment will not help. If you have a serious back condition that will require surgery and you can’t afford it, then going to the doctor is not going to do you much good. For people with MS, there are few options as well.
There are only certain situations in which the Social Security Administration will deem a case worth expediting through the disability process. If your case does not meet one or more of the required criteria, you will likely have to stand in line and wait with the others.
