Physical labor and little education can help you qualify for SSDI
The Social Security Administration (SSA) is strict regarding who it approves for disability benefits. If you apply for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits, you need to show that you meet three criteria when you apply.
You need to have enough work credits to qualify for payments. Your medical condition must last for a year or the rest of your life. You also need to show that your medical condition is severe enough to prevent you from ever working again. The standard for disability is quite high, and even people with chronic conditions may fail to support their claims in seeking SSDI benefits.
