    How to Qualify for Disability Benefits & Rest Easier

    You may have heard it’s hard to get disability benefits from Social Security.

    It’s true. Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) has thousands of rules to decide your eligibility for disability. A discouraging number of people are denied.

    But it’s worth trying to qualify for disability benefits, because the monthly income support can make your life so much easier when you can’t work because of serious health problems.

    Talk to an experienced disability lawyer about the disability qualifications and what they mean for you. Yocum, Krowl & Associates in Evansville helps people throughout the Indiana-Kentucky-Illinois Tri-State Area work through how to get disability benefits.

    Do I Qualify for Social Security Disability?

    One of the first questions people ask the disability attorneys at Yocum, Krowl & Associates is whether they have a good case for benefits. The disability qualifications are strict. These are the essential rules:

    1. Can’t Work

    You must not be working any significant amount in order to get SSDI benefits.
    2. Bad Health

    To win eligibility for disability benefits, the reason you can’t work must be health problems.
    3. Long Term

    Your inability to work—because of bad health—must have lasted at least a year, or you can show that it certainly will.

    Another top question you may have is whether your medical condition meets the disability requirements. Social Security keeps a list of impairments that qualify. But your diagnosis doesn’t always have to be on the list. Any health problems that prevents you from working could win you benefits. These are just a few:

    Musculoskeletal Disorders:

    Neck problems, back pain, spinal conditions and more

    Cardiovascular Disorders:

    Heart disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, aneurysms and more

    Immune System Disorders:

    Inflammatory arthritis, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, immune deficiency and more

    Mental Disorders:

    Anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, trauma disorders, schizophrenia and more
