Who is entitled to Social Security benefits?

As a long time running federal benefit program, Social Security benefits are available for those who qualify. With assistance from a Raleigh Social Security Disability attorney, you can determine your eligibility and how much you may be entitled to.

The first thing to keep in mind when determining eligibility is that you must be completely disabled to qualify for the benefits. Only some employment and insurance programs can cover individuals who are partially disabled.

Completely disabled is generally defined as someone who is unable to engage in any work that is considered to be productive.

In addition, your disability must have lasted at least one year or more, or resulted in death and must be backed by evidence from a physician.

Disability can be physical or mental, and must be verified by your doctor. Especially in cases of mental disability, it is quite difficult to prove that a person is actually disabled.
