Let a Lexington Disability Attorney Help You Receive the Benefits You Need

Many people who are suffering from a disability wonder how disabled you have to be to receive social security disability benefits.

Disability lawyers are well-versed in the language and jargon of disability claims, and are knowledgeable in what is required in order to win a disability case.

The determination of disability as defined by the SSA is the inability to perform substantive employment based on the work you’ve done in the past 15 years. Other factors considered include age, physical or mental handicap, and whether or not you can be retrained to perform a similar job that does not have the same physical or mental requirements as your previous job. The younger you are, the more difficult it may be to qualify for social security disability benefits.

For instance, the SSA could consider someone who has worked as a nurse on a hospital floor for many years with a knee injury able to be retrained for a job in a doctor’s office as a receptionist, where much of the time could be spent sitting. Therefore, they may not qualify for an approval of a disability claim. Usually, the more unskilled labor and heavier jobs required less of a disability in order for a positive outcome to your disability claim. Again, age and past employment play a big part, and a disability advocate understands the way disabilities are determine and can advise you how likely you are to win your case.
