YOU APPLIED FOR SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY AND YOUR CLAIM WAS DENIED AND YOU WONDER IF YOU SHOULD APPEAL?

The answer is if you are working you usually cannot
obtain disabilty especially if you make more than $800.00 per month.
Also, if your disabilty is temporary less than 12 months in duration
then you cannot obtain disabilty. You also have to have a severe
impairment in order to qualify. The impairment would be such that it
prevents you from working. If you are under age 50, then it is
difficult to obtain disability if you retain the capacity to any form
of light work. If you are over 50 but yet 55, it can also be difficult
to obtain disability if you can still do light work.

WHEN SHOULD I TALK TO AN ATTORNEY ABOUT MY CASE?

If you feel you have a meritorious case, then you should
call an attorney who specializes in Social Security Disability. He will
screen your case and will advise you if it is worthwhile to continue to
appeal.
