If your disabilities prevent you from being able to work at all, you may be eligible for Social Security Disability benefits. These benefits are available to people who have paid into the Social Security system during their working lifetime but who are now disabled and unable to perform any sort of work due to injury or illness.
Individuals who belong to certain employment retirement systems may also be eligible to receive disability retirement benefits. The best way to begin the Social Security Disability benefit process is to file a claim. We offer free Social Security Disability application help or you can submit your application on your own by phone, by email, or in-person.
