Social Security Disability

Social Security Disability Lawyers

Disability can pose an insurmountable obstacle to earning a living. If you or a family member suffers from an injury or disease that prevents you from working, or is expected to prevent you from working for one year or longer, then you may be entitled to Social Security Disability benefits. The Social Security Administration (SSA) is a federal agency that administers retirement and disability benefits; it is not a state government agency. The Social Security Administration (SSA) defines a disability as the inability to engage in substantial gainful activity (SGA) due to an impairment or combination of impairments. To be considered disabled, a person must ordinarily establish that he or she cannot perform his or her past work and also must establish an inability to perform other types of employment. The Social Security system provides benefits for the disabled under two separate but related programs: Social Security Disability Insurance (DIB) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI).

SSDI Benefits for Those Over Age 50

Are you between the ages of 50 and 65 and have become too disabled to work? If so, you are faced with a tough situation as you are too young to collect Social Security retirement benefits. However, you could very well meet the criteria for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits. This is directly related to, and primarily contingent upon your documented work history. It is in a scenario like this that it makes sense to have a skilled, experienced and resourceful Pennsylvania Social Security Disability Benefits Attorney in your corner.

Are you Eligible for SSDI & SSI Benefits When Over Age 50?

Being over age 50 does not automatically disqualify you for SSDI benefits. Actually, it is often times easier for people above age 50 to win a favorable decision. If an accident or injury is preventing you from working you may owe it to yourself and your family to seek the full benefits you deserve. Depending on your work history it may be possible to obtain SSDI benefits until you qualify for Social Security retirement benefits.
