New York Social Security Disability FAQs
While Workers’ Compensation is a great to temporarily relieve you from your injury expenses, some injuries may cause you to be unable to work for an extended period of time. As a result, you may be eligible for Social Security Disability. Explore our most popular FAQ for more details on your disability rights. Each person’s case is different, so we recommend consulting an attorney to discuss and evaluate your case.
Do I qualify for Social Security Disability?
Just having a disability is too broad, which is why there is no list of disabilities that can qualify you. However, if there is an inability to engage in SGA (substantial gainful activity) that is mental or physical impairment for more than 12 months or resulting in death, there may be a possibility you qualify.
Why do I need a social security disability lawyer?
It is recommended to get one, as the process is long and hard to get approved. Applying for SSD requires lots of documentation and evidence to prove you have an actual disability and can qualify for it. Having an attorney decreases the stress for you, and increases the chances of you successfully winning your claim.
How much can I get?
The calculations are different for everyone, and is generally based on income, how much you have paid into social security, and other factors.
