Nolo's Guide to Social Security Disability

Getting & Keeping Your Benefits

About this book

Qualify for Social Security disability benefits, quickly and easily

Nolo's Guide to Social Security Disability covers the criteria for getting disability benefits for back problems, heart and cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, autoimmune diseases, mental issues like depression and anxiety, and 200 other medical conditions.

Learn how to match the medical details of your disability to Social Security regulations to make sure you have the right evidence to qualify for the benefits you're due when you apply. This guide is written by a former Chief Medical Consultant for the Social Security Administration, whose expert deciphering of the medical portions of SSA regulations will help you understand how you can get benefits.

If you've been denied benefits already, this book will tell you how to find out the reasons for the denials and what steps to take to prove that you should get benefits on appeal.

This edition is completely updated with income limits and benefit amounts for 2024 and the latest rules and information, including recent changes to following listings:

• heart and cardiovascular listings

• skin disease and burn listings, and

• digestive disease and intestinal failure listings.

With Downloadable Disability Listings: Find out if your medical condition qualifies under one of Social Security's 200 disability listings (details inside).
