On Behalf of | Apr 12, 2019 | Firm News, Social Security Disability, Social Security Disability

This blog recently discussed seniors and how they can obtain Social Security disability benefits. It is also useful to be aware of when those over 50 can obtain Social Security disability (SSD) benefits when they need them. Social Security disability benefits can help with the daily needs and costs of disabled individuals and their families.

Suffering a disability over 50 can be especially devastating for disabled individuals and their families. As a result, disabled individuals over 50 should be aware that it may be easier for them to obtain Social Security disability benefits which can be time consuming to obtain. In general, SSD benefits can be challenging to get which is why disabled individuals should be familiar with the application and appeals processes for benefits.

It is more difficult for those over 50 to recover from a disability and to be able to reenter the workplace. As a result, disabled individuals over 50 who apply for Social Security disability benefits are given special consideration by the Social Security Administration. Their disability applications are given priority. SSD benefits are available to disabled individuals who are unable to engage in gainful activity and would be unable to adjust to another type of work. For those over 50, this can be even more difficult.

Trained guidance through the application and appeals processes can help disabled individuals over 50 with the struggles they face providing for themselves and their families and their daily needs while they are unable to work because of their disability. Many disabled individuals and families, including those over 50, rely on SSD benefits to get by which is why they should know how they can get the benefits they need.
