A Strict Standard for the Social Security Disability Program

On Behalf of Christian Ayers
  |     |  

Congress established a strict standard of disability for the Social Security Disability program. For example, the disability program does not provide short term or partial disability benefits. Instead, an insured claimant is eligible only if he or she cannot engage in any substantial gainful work because of a medically determinable physical or mental impairment that has lasted or is expected to last at least one year.  Contact us today to see if you may qualify for benefits under this strict standard.
