What Are Next Steps After Applying For Disability Benefits Orlando?
When are you able to collect your benefits? It can be stressful to wait for your benefits, especially if you have bills to pay, mouths to feed, and you just want to get on with things.
Here’s how Culbertson Law Group can help you with your Disability benefits Orlando.
The Disability Benefits Process Explained
To break it down simply, you make a claim, you wait to hear back from the Social Security Administration. You get a denial, you file a reconsideration, you wait some more. It can take time. Sometimes two months. Sometimes six months, or longer.
How can this process be made easier? With Social Security Disability benefits lawyers, like us.
There’s a five-step process used by the Social Security Administration to determine if a claimant is disabled and therefore in need of disability benefits. This is a breakdown in simpler terms from an actual case.*
- Is the claimant engaged in substantial gainful activity?
- Does the claimant have a severe impairment or combination of impairments?
- Does the impairment meet the severity of the specified impairments in the listing of Impairments?
- Based on a residual functional capacity (“RFC”) assessment, can the claimant perform any of his or her past relevant work despite the impairment?
- Are there significant numbers of jobs in the national economy that the claimant can perform given the claimant’s RFC, age, education, and work experience?
