How Disabled Do I Have To Be To Qualify For Social Security Benefits?

We all have health problems, and some of these health problems may interfere with how well we can do our jobs. But only some people with disabilities qualify for Social Security Disability benefits. What are some of the basic requirements for collecting social security benefits?

· First and foremost, if you are an adult, you must be unable to continue doing the job that you had before you became disabled or sick. You must also not be able to do any job that the Social Security Administration (SSA) thinks you could be capable of considering your career background.

· Your disability or condition is expected to last for at least one year or your disability or condition should be terminal. SSDI is not for partial disability or short-term disability. A disability can be physical, psychological, or psychiatric in nature.

· Your medical records must reflect your disability and the severity of your disability.
