If you are attempting to secure disability benefits from the Social Security Administration or from a private Long-Term Disability insurer you may be wondering how much you can receive and how that total is determined.
The Compassionate Allowance program identifies medical conditions that meet its criteria for disability, reducing the wait for disability determination.
Some disability payments are free of income tax and there are special deductions and tax credits available to disabled people and their caregivers.
If you are receiving disability benefits you may not realize how important it is to advise the SSA of any changes in your income or living circumstances.
SS disability benefits continue for as long as a person is disabled. However, there are some circumstances under which they may stop paying those benefits.
Under federal law, some government benefits are protected and cannot be garnished or “frozen.” Does this include SSI, VA and SSDI benefits? A lawyer explains.
"Words can not truly express the gratitude that I feel toward Mr. Lonnie Roach and his professional team. I give them an A+++. Very compassionate and prompt. Their priorities are first and foremost helping you succeed at your case. When you feel helpless, feeling like someone is on your side can mean the world to you. Thank you for working for the people."
