Understanding SSD Claim Denials in Union County

Key Factors in SSD Eligibility and Claims

Since you have already completed the initial application, you probably applied for your benefits as soon as your doctor verified that your disability would last at least one year.

Some of the other factors that the Social Security Disability Administration takes into consideration are:

• Have you worked for at least 10 years during the course of your lifetime, and worked at least five out of the last 10 years, and paid your FICA taxes?
• Do medical or emotional conditions cause you to be unable to do the work that you did before, or to adjust to other work?
• Will your disability last a full year or more?

You may already know that Social Security Disability will not pay for partial or short-term disability but only for total disability. Primarily, SSD is based on your average lifetime earnings. In certain specific situations, particular members of your family (including your spouse and your dependent children) may also be entitled to benefits.
