After having helped thousands of people in Southern Arizona get Social Security disability benefits for decades, I tend to get lost in the details of the process. Sometimes, it makes sense to step back and get the big picture. US News and World Reports published a very nice summary of the entire Social Security disability system. This includes how the program works, how to apply, and what benefits you can expect.
Start With The Basics
No single webpage is ever going to cover all the ins and outs of applying for Social Security disability benefits. That said, it is a good idea to understand the basics. I encourage you to look at this summary if you are considering applying for Social Security disability benefits. If you have questions about anything after having read it, let me know. You can also read through this blog to get volumes of in-depth information.
