Initial Application

Social Security Disability Attorneys Serving Western Pennsylvania

If you have a medically determinable impairment you can apply for Social Security disability benefits as soon as you become disabled. There is a wide range of criteria that you must meet under the Social Security Act to apply for disability benefits:

• As a result of your medical condition it is not possible for you to continue in your line of work, nor can you adjust to other work.
• Your disability has lasted or is expected to last at least one year or result in death.
• You must have worked long enough, and recently enough, to have adequately contributed to the Social Security system.
• Though you can apply for disability even if you are working part time, your average monthly earnings cannot exceed approximately $900.
• Factors such as your age, education and vocational background will be looked at as well.

After determining that you meet the criteria to apply for disability, you send in your disability claim and wait. The average wait time for a response is four months, depending on what state you are in. When you get your response, you open your letter and, if you are like many other people who apply for disability benefits, you will be denied.
