What is Required When Applying for Social Security Disability Benefits

If you are interested in applying for Social Security Disability Income (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI), the following steps are involved in the process:

1. Medical History: Your application should include records pertaining to your complete medical history, conditions you suffer from, and diagnoses relevant to your disability benefits claim.
2. Work History: The SSA will review the kinds of work you performed in the past to determine if you are capable of performing other kinds of jobs that may not require physical exertion. If you are only qualified for jobs your condition prevents you from performing, the SSA will review your situation in order to make an appropriate decision.
3. Education: If you have a college or advanced degree, you may be eligible for work that requires little or no physical exertion. The SSA will take into account your level of education in determining what kinds of jobs you could perform despite your disability.
