SSDI Lawyer in Orange County, California
Under the government run Social Security Administration (SSA), "disability" is based on your inability to work. You will be considered "disabled" under SSA rules, if:
- You cannot perform the work that you did before;
- They decide that you cannot adjust to another job because of your medical condition; and
- Your disability has lasted or is expected to last for at least one year or to result in death.

Obtaining Disability Benefits
You must have a physical impairment or a mental impairment (or combination of impairments) that has kept you from working for a year or is likely to prevent you from working. You can file a claim before you have been disabled for one year, but you must prove that your disability will last for at least one year.
How Is Disability Eligibility Determined?
The Social Security Administration relies on its own regulations to determine disability. A disability is very narrowly defined. Even if your doctor states you are disabled and cannot work, SSA may determine you do not have a disability.
Even if you have not worked, you may be eligible to apply for Supplemental Security Income, which is for those who have not paid into the Social Security system.
