What Counts as a Disability?

The first thing to consider when determining eligibility for Social Security disability benefits is whether or not your medical condition is considered to be a disability.

As far as the Social Security administration is concerned, a disability is any condition that prevent a person from being able to perform substantial gainful activity for at least 12 months or will result in death. The condition can be either physical or mental.

What Other Qualifications Are Necessary?

In order to get Social Security disability benefits, you must have paid enough into the system. You have to have worked a certain amount of time: at least five out of the last 10 years or 20 out of the last 40 quarters, with some exceptions.

Over the years, our lawyers have helped over 150,000 people and recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for our clients.
