Does the SSA reject everyone who applies for disability benefits?
The decision to apply for disability benefits can be a humbling one. Most working people prize their sense of independence and loathe the idea of relying on benefits instead of working. Quite a few people continue working when they could retire or refuse to call in sick unless absolutely necessary.
Yet, people often cannot control what happens to their health. A wide assortment of illnesses and injuries could leave someone unable to continue working. Yet, they continue to need income to support themselves and their family members. Someone adjusting to life with a disabling medical condition will have to look at every option for financial support.
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits can be one of the most important resources for those adjusting to life with a disabling medical condition. Unfortunately, SSDI benefits are notoriously difficult for people to obtain. Is it true that most applicants will face rejection instead of approval when applying for SSDI benefits?
