Social Security Disability Application Help
This online form is for anyone interested in help applying for Social Security Disability or Supplemental
Security Income benefits, and for appeals help.
Based upon your age, work history, and medical conditions, you may be eligible for
either:
- Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), or
- Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
|
Note: As part of the application process, you have the option to get your
case evaluated for free by an experienced Social Security Disability advocate or
attorney.
|
If you were denied Social Security Disability benefits in the past, do not get discouraged.
Many first-time applicants have been denied benefits at the initial stage. Success
rates on appeals are much higher than for those applying for benefits for the first
time.
Social Security Disability Claim
What happens if my claim is approved?
If your application is approved, your first Social Security disability benefits
will be paid for the sixth full month after the date your disability began.
If the Social Security Administration decides your disability began on January 15,
your first disability benefit will be paid for the month of July. Social Security
benefits are paid in the month following the month for which they are due, so you
will receive your July benefit in August.
How much will my benefits be?
The amount of your monthly disability benefit is based on your average lifetime
earnings. The Social Security Statement that you receive each year displays
your lifetime earnings and provides an estimate of your disability benefit. It also
includes estimates of retirement and survivors benefits that you or your family
may be eligible to receive in the future.
