Why Being Disabled for Over a Year Matters for Your
Social Security Disability Case
Hey there! If you’re reading this, chances are you’re seeking help with your Social Security Disability case. We’re here to make sure you understand why the length of your disability matters, especially if it’s been over a year. So, let’s break it down in simple terms!
First off, what does it mean to be disabled? Well, it means you have a condition that prevents you from working and earning a living because of a physical or mental impairment. Now, here’s the kicker – when you apply for Social Security Disability benefits, the length of time you’ve been disabled can play a big role in whether you get approved or not.
You see, the Social Security Administration (SSA) has certain rules they follow when deciding who qualifies for benefits. One of these rules is that your disability must be expected to last for at least one year or result in death. So, if you’ve been disabled for less than a year, it might indicate that your disability is not that severe and that you could go back to work at some time in the next 12 months. When you’ve been disabled for over a year, it provides more evidence that your impairment is severe enough to impact your ability to work for an extended period.
Plus, when your disability has lasted for a year or more, it’s easier to prove that you’re unable to engage in substantial gainful activity – in other words, you can’t work enough to support yourself. This is a key factor in determining whether you qualify for benefits.
Now, we understand that dealing with a disability can be tough – physically, emotionally, and financially. But don’t worry, that’s where we come in. Our team of experts at Casa de la Justicia is here to guide you through the process and help you navigate the ins and outs of applying for Social Security Disability (SSDI) benefits.
