About Social Security Disability

Social Security Disability insurance is a program in which employees contribute from each paycheck to a fund designed to help those who become unable to work due to disease or disability. You may be eligible for Social Security Disability benefits if you are unable to work due to illnesses or injuries such as, but not limited to the following:

• Breathing problems
• Chronic heart disease
• Mental disorders
• Blindness
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Seizures despite the use of medication
• Cancer
• Neurological disorders
• Multiple sclerosis

The Social Security Administration (www.ssa.gov) reviews each case of those claiming disability so those who truly need financial support receive it. A system of earned work credits per year is used to help determine your benefit eligibility. In general, having worked five of the past ten years usually qualifies you. As for the nature of your disability, any medical condition that prevents you from working at your former job or adjusting to a new one could make you eligible for significant benefits.

It is common for initial claims to be denied, but often these claims are approved at a higher level after appeal. If you’ve been denied, let the Nevada Social Security Disability lawyers of Richard Harris Law Firm help you get the money you deserve.
