Disability Benefits Criteria
To meet the requirements for Social Security Disability, an applicant must prove that their disability is the same as or is the equivalent to a listed impairment. There is a list of impairments that the Social Security Administration considers disabilities. For Social Security Disability, an impairment must include or affect at least one of the following:
- Blindness
- Cancer
- Cardiovascular System
- Congenital Disorders affecting multiple body systems
- Digestive System
- Endocrine Disorders
- Fibromyalgia
- Genitourinary Disorders
- Hearing Loss
- Hematological Disorders
- Immune System Disorders
- Mental Disorders
- Musculoskeletal System
- Neurological Disorders
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

Having a Qualifying Impairment Isn't Enough to Qualify for SSD Benefits
When applying for Social Security Disability benefits, it's essential to prove the impairment prevents the applicant from holding jobs they've previously held.
To Be Eligible for Social Security Disability, You Have to Pay Into Social Security
Paying into Social Security simply means paying Social Security taxes from working. People who have not paid Social Security taxes when working (such as working "under-the-table" or working outside of the United States) may not be eligible for SSD benefits.

Social Security Disability is Complex. An MCV Law SSD Lawyer near Utica, NY Will Advocate For You.
It's understandable to think getting approved for Social Security Disability benefits would be straight forward. You've paid Social Security taxes for all the years you've been working, and you're living with a disability that's making it seemingly impossible to keep working. Unfortunately, getting approved for SSD benefits is much more complicated and challenging than you may think.

When applying for Social Security Disability benefits, you'll have to complete plenty of paperwork with questions that might seem simple, but need to be answered in a very particular way. If the paperwork isn't complete exactly as it should, your benefits could be denied.
Beyond the paperwork, hearings take place that can be hard to understand unless you're a SSD lawyer.
The Social Security Disability process also requires extensive documentation. If this documentation isn't properly accounted for, your benefits could be denied.
Put simply, you won't want to handle your Social Security Disability case all by yourself.

"My daughter and I worked with Kim Slimbaugh to appeal my Social Security Disability Claim. Kim as well as her staff were always on top of my medical information and knew my file from front to back. I can’t tell you how pleased I was with their professionalism and personal kindness. I will always suffer with my physical issues due to an accident, but I know that I have one less thing to worry about thanks to Atty Slimbaugh and MCV LAW."
