While people may be suffering from disability qualifying benefits for years at a time, they shouldn’t have to worry about losing money from the Social Security Administration as long as the disability remains.
While people may be suffering from disability qualifying benefits for years at a time, they shouldn’t have to worry about losing money from the Social Security Administration as long as the disability remains.
When people with disability qualifying benefits are denied by the Social Security Administration, there could be dire consequences, according to a new report. The National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty’s report said disability payments are critical to people who have these problems, but while 40 percent are most likely due these payments, only 14 percent receive them. This can end up being trouble for someone who is deserving of this money.
Veterans looking for disability benefits should keep a watchful eye on the proposed new definition changes of post traumatic stress disorder. The proposal can be found in a draft of the American Psychiatric Association’s fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, which serves as a guide for mental health workers across the world, according to The Augusta Chronicle.
With May being ALS Awareness Month, Denise Jones, a Social Security Administration employee, wrote an editorial for The Daily Nonpareil which said those with the illness may be able to get quicker Social Security disability benefits. ALS, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, commonly referred to as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a progressive disease which attacks nerve cells and pathways in the brain and spinal cord. She said ALS is one of Social Security’s “Compassionate Allowances.”
