Disability. About 20-25% of us will face an extended or permanently disabling condition sometime before we reach retirement age, according to Social Security statistics. When a person can no longer work, it usually has a major financial impact on that person and his or her family. Your clients likely turn to you to assess their changed finances and for help moving forward.
One piece of moving forward for many people who have experienced work-stopping medical problems is filing for Social Security disability benefits. But it may be unclear to you whether your client will qualify for benefits. Eligibility for these programs is complicated and determined by many factors, including non-medical questions relating to your client’s work history and their insured status under the disability insurance benefit program (and for how long), age and education, and vocational issues. This is all in addition to the critical medical issues: whether their conditions result in symptoms and limitations that meet Social Security’s standard of disability and whether there is enough objective documentation to prove it.
