How Long Do You Have To Be Disabled For Availing SSD Payments?

The Social Security Administration doesn’t have any provision for short term disability and some specific durational requirements are to be met in order to qualify for the disability benefits. What SSA needs is that the severe physical or mental impairment that you have, must last more or at least for one year. May be, this seems very straight forward, but this is the most crucial and common reason for the denial of the claims by the SSA. 

It is generally very difficult to define if you would recover from your mental or physical impairment in a year or not. In case, your claim is denied by the SSA on this basis, then the reason is that they think that you would recover in a year. Actually, they prefer to make an educated guess according to the type, medical treatment and severity of your condition.

So, the big question is if you have to wait for a year to apply or not?....Any social security legal services in Florida would suggest you to apply as soon as you find out that you can’t work anymore. For the social security disability cases, the supposed date of inception and the date of inception is necessary for determining the payment for which you would be entitled. But, there are various restrictions on the maximum amount of the benefits that the SSA can provide as per the date of your application. So, the social security legal services in Florida would advice you to file the claim as soon as possible. You must remember that for the applicants of SSI, the SSA could only pay the benefits from the date of application, thus it is essential to apply as soon as possible in order to ensure the full amount of your benefits.
