About Social Security Disability

Social security disability benefits are designed to provide you with income should you become unable to work because of a permanent, disabling medical condition. If you qualify for these benefits, you may also be able to enroll in Medicare to cover some of your medical expenses.


Qualifying for social security disability is rarely easy and may require one or more appeals. In many cases, people with disabilities must argue their case in court in order to get the benefits they deserve.

When Should You Apply for Social Security Disability?

It can take up to a year to process a Social Security Disability claim. As such, you want to apply for Social Security Disability as soon as you receive your diagnosis or become disabled.



There is a mandatory waiting period of 5 months following a diagnosis before benefits can begin to be disbursed. While you can file at any time following your diagnosis, the five month period must lapse before you can begin receiving payments.
