Social Security Disability

Boston Social Security Disability Lawyer

Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) are programs administered by the Social Security Administration (SSA) to provide financial assistance to people who are injured or disabled and unable to work. The Law Offices of David B. Feldman, in Boston, Massachusetts, helps people prepare, file, and appeal Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) claims.

Social Security Disability

If you are disabled from work due to an injury, illness or disease which has lasted or is expected to last more than one year, you may qualify for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSD) benefits. If you meet the medical criteria, you and certain members of your family may qualify for benefits provided that you worked long enough for and paid for through social security taxes.

In order to be considered disabled and eligible for SSDI, you must be unable to perform not only your previous work, but any other work that may be available to you. Social security does not pay for partial disability or short term disability.

Social security determines if you are sufficiently disabled to qualify for benefits not only by the type of work you previously performed or which might be available to you, but also by the severity of your medical condition. Some medical conditions are considered so severe that you may automatically qualify for benefits. Social security keeps a list of certain medical conditions that it considers serve enough to automatically qualify you for benefits. If your medical condition (or conditions) are not on the list, you need to prove that they are sufficiently disabling to equal or exceed a listed impairment.

In order to apply for benefits, you will need to provide Social Security with a great deal of information about your medical condition(s) and previous employment, including but not limited to, the following: your birth certificate; names, addresses and phone numbers of the doctors, caseworkers, hospitals and clinics that took care of you and dates of your visits; names and dosage of all the medicine you take; medical records from your doctors, therapists, caseworkers, hospitals, and clinics; laboratory and test results; information about worked and the kind of work you did; and a copy of your most recent W-2 Form (Wage and Tax Statement) or, if you are self-employed, your federal tax return for the past year.
