    About this ebook

    Qualify for Social Security disability benefits, quickly and easily

    This comprehensive and compassionate book covers both SSDI and SSI, shows you how to prove a disability, and explains how your age, education, and work experience affect your chances. Parents will find special information about benefits available to children with a disability.

    Learn how to:

    • find the disability criteria for your medical condition
    • prove the severity of your disability
    • appeal if you’re denied benefits
    • work part time while keeping your benefits
    • prepare for a Continuing Disability Review
    • and more.

    Plus, this book is packed with filled-in samples of all the forms you’ll need, including the SSDI and SSI disability applications.

    This new edition covers:

    • changes to how attorneys’ fees are paid at the federal court level
    • the addition of reconsideration as an appeal step to some states, and
    • new discussions of getting disability for migraines, carpal tunnel syndrome, knee and hip replacements, chronic fatigue syndrome, and fibromyalgia.

    With Downloadable Disability Listing: Find out if your medical condition qualifies under one of Social Security’s 200 disability listings (details inside).
