The best of social security disability
The limitations of a condition and the need for social security disability insurance are very difficult to fit into a simple set of guidelines. The disability examiner has to use his judgment to establish whether an applicant can perform past or other employment at a level to support himself. Your record of previous employment is usually the second most important aspect (next to medical condition) in establishing whether benefits should be awarded. Q: What is the difference between SSI and SSDI? A: SSDI and SSI are disability benefits, but they are quite different in their requirements. To be eligible for SSDI, or Social Security Disability Insurance, an applicant must have been in the workforce long enough to have accrued enough work credits for benefits.
