The Book on Social Security Disability : A Practical Guide to Obtaining your Disability Benefits

At any one time, up to 10% of the working age population in the U.S. is out of work due to serious medical conditions or acute injuries.

With the proper treatment, most of them will eventually heal enough to return to work.

For a small minority of workers, their conditions endure or become permanent.

Fortunately, monthly monetary benefits and health insurance may be available through the Social Security Disability and SSI programs.

This book is for: • The disabled worker, who is unable to return to the workforce; • Family members assisting loved ones; • Social Workers helping their clients navigate the application process; • Doctors and other medical professionals helping their disabled patients gain access to medical care; • Lawyers looking for a quick introduction to SSDI and SSI benefits.
