You may believe that because you have a serious medical condition that prevents you from going to work that you will automatically qualify for disability benefits. However, there are some things that will disqualify someone from being eligible for disability benefits. These could be the time your medical condition lasts is less than 12 months, your medical condition doesn’t appear in the Social Security Administration (SSA) blue book list of eligible medical conditions, you are still earning a living which is over the SSA’s threshold for eligibility for disability benefits and for SSDI you may not have accumulated sufficient work credits to qualify.

How to Apply For Disability Benefits

As long as you have gathered sufficient medical evidence that proves you are unable to work, and you have the number of work credits required to qualify, you can file a claim for disability benefits. What the Social Security Administration (SSA) wants to know from your disability benefits application is if your disability prevents you from working and earning a living. The sorts of medical evidence you should use to support your claim include results of medical tests such as blood and urine tests, X-rays, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRIs), Computerized Tomography (CAT) scans, and ultrasounds. In addition to these tests, you may also need to include a recent report from your physician describing your diagnosis and its symptoms which prevent you from working, the treatment you are receiving and its effects. Before you begin the application process for Social Security disability benefits, you should have all of your medical evidence readily available so you can easily attach it to your application.

How to File a Disability Benefits Claim

You can start the process of filing your disability benefits claim by visiting the SSA’s website (www.ssa.gov/disabilityonline) where you will be asked to enter basic information such as:

your name, address and Social Security Number (SSN);

dates of your employment, employers' names, and the type of work you performed;

your total income earned in each of the last 3 years;

the names of the doctor(s) and hospital(s) through which you sought treatment;

the sort(s) of medical treatment you were given;

information about any income you earned when you did not pay Social Security taxes;

information about any workers’ compensation awards;

your bank account details (for direct deposit).

If you find it too difficult to complete an online application, you can also apply over the phone or by arranging an in-person appointment at a local SSA office.

To ensure you qualify for disability benefits your ailment needs to meet a blue book listing. The SSA has hundreds of medical conditions covered in the blue book. You have to provide medical evidence to prove you meet the conditions listed in the blue book for your medical condition. If you are unable to do this you can request that your doctor carries out a residual functioning capacity (RFC) assessment which shows what you are physically and mentally capable of doing. If it is clear you don’t have the physical or mental capacity to work for at least 12 months you may be eligible for disability benefits.

Not Having Enough Work Credits

In order to qualify for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) you need to have accumulated enough work credits. The number you need to qualify will depend how long you have worked. To be eligible for SSDI, you must meet a recent work test and a duration work test. The number of credits required to meet the recent work test will depend on your age. Before age 24, you may be eligible if you have earned 6 credits in the 3 years ending when your disability began. From Age 24 to 31 years you could qualify if you have credit for working half the time between age 21 and the time your disability starts. If you are 31 years or older you usually need to have earned at least 20 credits in the 10 years just before your disability commenced.

Being Able To Work

If you can still work then you may not qualify for disability benefits as one of the requirements for SSDI is not being fit enough to work for at least 12 months.
