AGE 50+ MAY ENTITLE YOU TO DISABILITY BENEFITS

 Social Security has special programs available for disabled individuals who are age 50 or over.  Simply stated, it is much easier to qualify for disability benefits if you are 50 plus.

However, it isn't easy.  You must skillfully apply the Medical-Vocational Guidelines (also called "Grid Rules").

The Grids allow you to claim disability based on your age, education, mental/physical impairment, and type of work you have done during the past 15 years.

Most of these claims will be denied initially.  You will need to go through the appeals process and will likely end up before a federal Administrative Law Judge.

But in the hands of a skilled attorney/advocate, the judge can often be convinced to apply a Grid Rule and approve your benefits.

My firm specializes in representing older claimants.  We are experienced at using the Grid Rules to get claims approved.  

Here are the basic requirements to get approved if you are 50 plus:

• You are not presently working or able to work.
• You have worked at least 5 out of the most recent 10 year period.
• You have no sedentary (sit down) work in your work history
• You have a severe physical or medical condition.
• You are receiving current medical treatment by a licensed physician.
• Your condition will keep you from working for 12 straight months or more.  (There is no short term disability benefit).

CAUTION:  It is normal to be denied on the first try; almost everyone is.  It is in the appeal process that you can get approved.

If we represent you in your appeals, we will never charge you a fee or any expense until:  (A) You win your benefits, and also (B) Collect past due benefits in a lump sum.

Then, our fee must be approved by the Social Security Administration, and it will be paid directly by the US Government.
