Social Security > Benefits
Summary
What are Social Security Benefits?
To
receive Social Security disability benefits, you must
have, or will have, a physical or mental impairment that
has prevented full-time work for one year. You can file
a claim before you have been disabled for one year, but
you must prove that your disability will last for at
least one year.
When determining whether you
qualify for disability benefits, Social Security relies
on its own set of regulations regarding what qualifies
as a disability. The criteria used are very narrowly
defined. Even if your doctor has told you that you are
disabled and unable to work, Social Security may find
that under its regulations you are not disabled.
You must have medical evidence of some physical and/or
mental impairment that keep you from working in order to
qualify for Social Security disability benefits. Social
Security relies on objective medical evidence. For this
reason, continue treating with your doctor during your
application process and beyond.
