Veterans disability lawyer discussion
Does SSA offer partial disability benefits? No, people with partial or short term disabilities are not eligible for disability benefits through Social Security. Only people whose disability is considered complete and is expected to last more than one year are eligible for social security benefits. (Note that you may continue working while collecting disability benefits if your highest possible income is beneath a certain level. ) Although I am still working, I cannot work the same hours or skill level that I used to, and my income has dropped as a result. Can I still file for social security benefits? Yes, you can file for disability benefits if you are making less than a certain amount per month, averaged over a full year.
