Social Security Disability
Social Security disability is covered by Federal law under the Social Security Act.
This act defines disability as the "inability to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months."
The requirements for Social Security disability benefits are very stringent and routinely result in the denial of an estimated 60% of all Social Security disability claims. For this reason it is to your advantage to obtain an attorney who is experienced and effective in dealing with Social Security disability claims. Processing a claim can be a lengthy process; however, the benefits when granted are often quite significant.
