With about 775,000 people homeless across the United States, according to the Chicago Alliance to End Homelessness, there are many people that need help out in the streets, especially as winter approaches. A story by Gannett News said that many homeless could have disability qualifying benefits which could help them get Social Security benefits.
Although disability qualifying benefits should be one of the last things veterans have to worry about, the harsh reality is that many have to fight for their benefits. Anthony Westbury writes on the TC Palm’s website about Sgt. Fredrick Addiss, who decided to separate from the military in 2010. He said he followed the Department of Veteran Affairs’ rules about claiming disability payments and applied six months ahead to have a smooth transition.
While many people suffer from Asperger’s syndrome, very few realize that it can be considered a disability qualifying condition by the Social Security Administration.
People who are unable to work or perform daily functions due to heart disease may be able to receive disability qualifying benefits from the Social Security Administration.
