Although there is some good information on Social Security Administration disability on their website, PBS blogger Larry Kotlikoff made a good point on a recent blog post that it may be a bad idea to trust everything that is said to be the full-disclosure truth.
Getting veterans benefits from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs shouldn’t be hard, but veterans will often face long waits due to a backlog. This is especially true for those who do not have a representative, as they may not know the ins and outs of VA as well. The Law Offices of Harold W. Conick and Associates knows what it takes to get these veterans benefits, which can be up to $3,100 for certain veterans.
Although many people may think of Social Security Administration benefits as being only for the elderly, the recent “Fast Facts & Figures” notes that those with other disability qualifying conditions can be approved as well. Mark Miller wrote on Forbes that there are three main programs: Retirement, disability insurance and supplemental security income, which helps support those with low-income. Disability benefit recipients are the average age of 53.2 years old, down from 57.2 years in 1960.
Even if someone has extremely damaging disability qualifying conditions, that does not guarantee approval of Social Security Administration benefits. There is growing political pressure in many circles on SSA judges to not approve benefits due to a belief that the system is failing, but claimants cannot let this get them down if they are in need of benefits. Freida Thomas, a Yahoo contributor, wrote that even after denial, people should not give up on on applying again.
