How long do I have to wait after becoming disabled before I can file for Social Security disability benefits?
A: Not even one day. You can file for Social Security disability benefits on the very same day that you become disabled. To prevail in a claim though, there must be medical proof that you meet the standard. There is no reason to file a Social Security disability claim if one has only a minor illness or one which is unlikely to last a year or more. However, an individual who suffers serious illness or injury and expects to be out of work for a year or more should not delay in filing a claim for Social Security disability benefits.
