If you are trying to get benefits for yourself or a loved one with disabilities, it can be stressful and you may be unsure about where to begin. If you are disabled in any way, you may be entitled to benefits. Finding the right Social Security lawyer in Metro Detroit can help you to get what you deserve. In Michigan, 70 percent of individuals who apply for Social Security get denied their first time around. Whether you are applying for the first time or have already been denied, you must first be aware of how you qualify for Social Security disability benefits.
What To Know About Applying For Disability Benefits
When applying for Social Security Disability benefits, your overall family income as well as other resources are taken into consideration. Social Security uses both medical disability criteria and non-medical criteria to determine whether you qualify for Social Security disability. Upon submission of your application, you will be asked to provide personal information such as medical records, school records as well as a list of people close to you. All information about your disability will be reviewed by state agency doctors and staff, who will decide whether or not you are disabled. In order to receive Social Security, you must:
- Not be earning more than $1,070 per month
- Have a medical condition that interferes with basic work-related activities
- Have a condition that limits you from doing the same work you previously have done
- Have a disability that has lasted/is expected to last for at least one full year, or result in death
