SOURCES OF DISABILITY INCOME

SOURCES OF DISABILITY INCOME may include an insurance plan through your employer, Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI).

 If you have disability insurance through your employer, that may be the fastest and easiest source of income when you become disabled. Social Security can take longer to get because of the government red tape. Most private insurance plans will start your disability payments now and then reduce them if you later get approved for Social Security.


There are no income/resource restrictions for SSDI.  But you do have to prove that you cannot work because of a severe medical condition (physical or mental).  Usually, it's not enough to prove that you can't do your recent job; you also need to prove that you can't do any full-time work.  It can sometimes take two years or longer to get an SSDI claim approved.  And, Social Security does not pay any benefit for the first 5 months of disability due to the "waiting period."

If you need assistance getting Social Security disability, contact the Forsythe Firm in Huntsville. Call (256) 799-0297.

We require no money up front and we will cover expenses to process and adjudicate a claim that we agree to represent.  If you win the claim or appeal and collect back pay, Social Security repays us from the back pay you receive.

Have questions?  Call us.  We can often answer your Social Security disability questions over the phone, without your having to drive to our office. If you need to come in later, we will schedule a convenient appointment you. There is never a charge to speak with us.
