One mistake people commonly make is not filing for disability benefits right away. Since the process of getting a disability claim through the system can take months or even years, waiting to file a disability claim can add unnecessary time to an already lengthy process. The bottom line is to file your claim as soon as you cease working or earn less than the SGA (Substantial Gainful Activity) amount as set by the SSA, which is currently $1000 per month.  It is pointless to file if you are still working full-time or earning about this threshold, as your claim will be denied immediately without even consultation of medical records.
Another mistake that is commonly made is failure to disclose all medical problems that you may be suffering from, to include not only physical problems but mental or emotional ones as well. The more information the SSA has about your total medical condition, the better the chance of a favorable ruling. Failing to report depression that has accompanied a serious physical problem, for example, can compromise your case and give the Disability Examiner less of a comprehensive picture. Often, it is a combination of ailments that can result in a denial of disability benefits.
