The Social Security Act provides you with disability benefits if you cannot perform any kind of work for at least twelve consecutive months. There are certain income guidelines that may be followed if you have not worked for the required length of time that may entitle you to Social Security Disability insurance benefits.
In order to be eligible for benefits from any of the social security disability programs, the Social Security Administration considers the following:
• Whether you are working,
• Whether you have a severe medical impairment that has lasted long enough,
• Whether your impairment or illness is one listed in the regulations,
• Whether you are able to perform the type of work you have done in the past, and
• Whether there is any lighter work available in the national economy, which you could perform.
