Anyone who has been or will be out of work for twelve continuous months may be entitled to
Social Security Disability Benefits, if they have worked and paid into the Social Security
System. There are Social Security Benefits available for people who have never worked.
These benefits are available for people who are disabled and who have no other income.
Disability Benefits are also available for children and widows even if they have not worked.
In most cases, you should not wait to file a claim for Social Security Benefits. As soon as you feel
that you may be out of work for twelve continuous months, you should call us and let us determine if
you should file a claim for Benefits immediately.
If your claim has been denied, it does not
mean that you are not entitled to Disability Benefits. Your initial claim may have been missing vital
evidence, or you may not have presented your claim in the light most favorable to you. Under the
Social Security Law, you have the right to appeal the denial of your claim. If you feel that you
are disabled and entitled to benefits, you should never drop your claim just because you were
denied initially.
