Navigation Securing disability benefits after a career in shipping
The harbors dotting Alabama’s coastline play an important role in the state’s economy. While the shipping industry can be physically demanding, it has provided many workers and their families a stable livelihood. This type of manual labor can take its toll, however.
As shipping workers age, they may suffer an injury or illness that makes it hard to continue in their job. Many of these individuals, if they have accrued the proper credits, will turn to Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI). It is vital they explain their situation thoroughly and accurately if they want to secure benefits.
