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.

RED FLAGS IN SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY CASES

  RED FLAGS IN A SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY CASE A red flag is something that causes concern or raises a problem in a Social Security disability case.   In short, it’s something that may get the claim denied or cause a big problem. Here are some of the red flags that we see crop up: ·          Work after the alleged onset date (AOD).   Since the process takes so long, many claimants feel that they are forced to return to work for income.   Social Security often sees this as a sign that the claimant is not disabled. ·          Severe substance abuse.   Chronic and frequent abuse of drugs or alcohol can pose problems. ·           A skimpy work record.   A claimant who has worked very little or has jumped from job to job frequently may not have good credibility. ·          Quitting wo...

WHAT YOU WILL BE ASKED AT A DISABILITY HEARING

Most Social Security disability claims will be denied twice:  First at the end of the Application process, and again after the "Reconsideration" process.  The third stop will be a hearing before a federal Administrative Law Judge (ALJ). It is here at the hearing level that most SSDI claims are paid.  So, what do you need to know about your Social Security disability hearing?     First, the judge will follow the rules established by the Social Security Administration.  His or her job is to determine whether you meet the particular laws and rules to receive disability payments.  So, it is a legal proceeding where you must prove certain things in order to get paid. Among the things you must prove:  Your insured status with Social Security:  You have worked recently enough and paid into the Social Security trust fund to gain the required "work credits" to support your claim.  You have a severe medical or mental impairment supported by adequa...

HOW TO COMPLETE A FUNCTION REPORT OR ACTIVITIES OF DAILY LIVING FORM

After you apply for Social Security Disability (SSDI), you will be sent a FUNCTION REPORT to fill out and return.  This form asks a lot of very detailed questions about your daily activities:  driving, cooking, cleaning, dressing, visiting others, hobbies, etc. The Social Security Administration will use your answers to determine whether you can work or not.  You must show on this Function Report that you have limitations that do not permit you to work a full-time job.  You do this by showing your limitations in activities of daily living. Your goal in the Function Report is to show the struggles and challenges you have with everyday life.  It may not be sufficient to answer a question with "Yes" and fail to explain. For example:  "Can you drive?"  If you answer "Yes," Social Security will assume that your ability to drive is unlimited:  you can drive anytime, anywhere and as often or as far as you want.  That may not be true and would need t...
