Important information

You do not have to stop working completely to have a viable claim for Social Security disability benefits. 

The application and appeals process can take an extended period of time.  In some cases, it can take upwards of two years.

Social Security has anti-windfall provisions causing (in some cases) an offset for any workers compensation benefits received.

The same anti-windfall provisions cause (in some cases) benefits to be offset by benefits received from the Veterans Administration.

There are certain programs that allow an individual to return to work and/or continuing working and still have a viable claim for Social Security disability benefits.

Should you return to work while your disability claim is pending, you may still be eligible for a closed period of disability.

In most cases, there are three levels to the appeals process (initial application, reconsideration (some states), and the hearing level). 

The majority of claims are won at the hearing level.

PAY ATTENTION to paperwork received from the SSA.  You only have sixty (60) days to file an appeal.  Most claimants will file at least two appeals.

Failure to file a timely appeal may result in the loss of benefits to which you would have otherwise been entitled.
