You may be wondering what medical conditions qualify for long-term disability or whether it’s the right choice for you. There are many misconceptions about disability benefits, but the truth is they’re a smart decision for many deserving people. The more you know about the reality of social security disability, the better you’ll feel about applying for benefits.
Completing The Application
Before you start an application, you’ll need to decide which type of disability benefits you want to apply for. The two main types are Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). There are a few key differences between the two, and a disability lawyer can help you choose which one will be best for you.
Applications for SSDI and SSI can be completed online, by phone, or in-person at a Social Security field office. They can also be completed with the help of one of our experienced lawyers that deal with Social Security disability. To complete the application, you’ll need a few pieces of information, including:
- Personal information
- Medical records
- A Birth certificate or another form of identification
- Work history records
- Proof of any compensation benefits you previously received
