By knowing precisely what is required, you can make your case more effective. Applications for social security disability are accepted at any time, but they're usually processed faster if they're filed within three months after the onset of symptoms or diagnosis.
If your condition worsens over time, apply as soon as possible. This article will explore the steps necessary for filing a disability claim successfully.
Your doctor will fill out a "medical statement" form when they agree that you are disabled enough to qualify for disability benefits. You'll need to register with the state agency in charge of deciding disability claims (often called Disability Determination Services). This agency will ask you for information about your health and work history.
The Social Security Administration (SSA) will examine your application and determine whether you meet the criteria for receiving any social security disability benefits at all.
If your doctor says your injury or illness makes it impossible for you to work and that you need time off, file a claim with your employer.
To collect social security disability, you must have a severe medical condition expected to last at least 12 months or result in death. The Social Security Administration has published a list of all the diseases and conditions considered disabling.

Wait for Approval or Denial
The Social Security Administration (SSA) will examine your application and determine whether you meet the criteria for receiving any social security disability benefits at all.
If they determine that you do, they will approve your application and send you a letter letting you know this. If they deny your application, they will notify you in writing and let you know why they made this decision.
Get a Referral From Your Doctor
If your doctor says your injury or illness makes it impossible for you to work and that you need time off, file a claim with your employer.
They'll also have to give their professional opinion about whether there are any jobs that you could do by modifying your duties or hours. This will get you paid while you're away from work.
