1) Your doctor has told you that you should file for disability. This probably means your doctor will fill out a form supporting your claim.
2) You are compliant with medical advice but are still unable to work.
3) You are over age 50. Younger persons may get disability benefits, but being over 50 is an advantage.
4) You have a long, steady work record.
5) You have attempted to go back to work but were unable to continue because of your medical conditions or symptoms.
THE STEPS YOU NEED TO TAKE:
- File an application for benefits. You may be denied. If so, appeal within the 60 day limit.
- Prepare for your hearing. The best way to prepare is to find a Social Security disability lawyer or advocate who can help you. There is much to be done.
