2025: A GREAT YEAR TO APPLY FOR SOCIAL SECURITY DISABIILTY

2025 is really a great year to apply for Social Security disability.

The Social Security Administration will pay benefits to more than 400,000 new disability claimants this year.

WHAT WILL ENABLE YOU TO GET SSDI BENEFITS?

There are a few basic requirements to apply for Social Security Disability in 2025:

  • You have not yet reached your full retirement age (67 for most folks)

  • You are currently not able to work and are not working full-time

  • You are under medical treatment for a severe, disabling condition which has lasted or will last for at least 12 straight months

  • You have worked at least 5 years out of the last 10 years to obtain the minimum "work credits" needed for SSDI

While the process of being approved for SSDI is rigorous, hundreds of thousands of claimants will be approved in 2025 and may receive a monthly benefit check plus Medicare which helps pay for expensive medical treatment. Many will receive thousands of dollar$ in back pay.

You may qualify for legal representation with NO FEE due until you get approved and receive your past due benefit settlement. Claimants with legal representation are at least TWICE as likely to be approved as those who are not represented. (Source: Government Accountability Office).

There is a firm in North Alabama which helps claimants navigate the Social Security disability process--from application to appeal--when necessary. You will be charged NO FEE unless you are approved with back pay (past due benefits). Consultations are free and we never ask you for money.

MEETING SOCIAL SECURITY'S DURATION REQUIREMENT FOR DISABILITY

SSDI, or Social Security Disability Insurance, requires a severe impairment which has lasted for at least 12 straight months, is expected to last at least 12 straight months OR is expected to end in death. This 12 consecutive months requirement is called the "Duration Requirement."  Disabilities with a duration of less than 1 year are not covered under the Social Security Act. You do not have to wait 12 months to file a claim. There is no requirement to wait 12 months to file.  But if your disability has not already last for at least 12 months, the nature of the impairment must be such that is can reasonably be expected to last 12 months or longer OR to end in death.  Short term impairments are not covered. What you will need to document for your medical and/or mental impairment(s):   A claimant will require objective medical proof.  This comes in the form of official medical records from doctors, clinics, hospitals, counselors, therapists and other professiona...

SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS FOR DOWNS SYNDROME

Downs Syndrome may qualify for automatic SSI disability in children. A child with Translocation Syndrome or Trisomy 21 will usually be classified as disabled from birth. This type of syndrome affects about 98 percent of the Downs Syndrome population. Social Security will want a diagnosis from a medically acceptable source and they will want certain tests.Once the documentation is presented, an SSI award may be automatic.  Those with Mosaic Down syndrome may qualify, but your child would need more than a diagnosis to be approved. Because [according to SSA] people with Mosaic Down syndrome may not have as many intellectual or physical disabilities as those with other forms of Down syndrome, you’ll need to meet another listing in the Blue Book to qualify. Social Security will consider the complications or manifestations of Downs Syndrome in making a decision. If the claimant is a child (under 18), k eep in mind that SSI is a needs-based program for families with limited resources...

A DISABILITY DENIAL IS NOT THE END OF YOUR CASE

By Charles W. Forsythe The Forsythe Firm Social Security denies a lot of applications.  It's expected.  But it's not the end. The good news is:  You can probably win your case on appeal and get paid benefits.  It just takes a bit longer. About 8 out of 10 new disability claims will be routinely denied.  So, it's rather unusual to be approved just by filing an application. An appeal sounds like a last resort or tricky legal maneuver.  It's really quite common--almost  normal--in a Social Security disability case. 8 out 10 claims will be appealed at least once, often twice, before they are paid. The process that pays Social Security disability is not the application, it's the appeal process. Many claimants who don't understand the importance of appeals give up after the first denial.  A serious mistake.  You odds get better in appeals. TIME LIMIT ON APPEALS.  All unfavorable Social Security decisions must be appealed within 60 days.  ...
