Why Disability Claimants Over Age 50 have an Advantage

Social Security disability claimants over age 50 generally have better odds than younger claimants for winning disability benefits. This is not to say that you cannot win if you are less 50 years old with compelling medical records in your file, but our experience has been that Social Security judges tend to give older claimants more of the benefit of the doubt.
As discussed in this video, claimants who are 50+ can use the grid rules to ask for an approval, whereas this theory of disability is not available to younger individuals. Older claimants also often have longer work histories and a long and consistent employment record is a positive factor in any disability claim.
If you are age 50 or older, or even if you are in your late 40's and struggling to work because of a serious medical or mental health issue, Social Security disability could help you. If you would like a no obligation case evaluation, please reach out to me.

I was recently diagnosed with small blood vessel disease in the brain, as well as arthritis and a bulging disc, and a spine disease. Everything hit me so hard when I turned 50. I applied for SSI and hoping I get approved. I spent 20 years on my feet and consistently bending and lifting and my body has paid the price.

Did you look at 202.04. The education part asks if your education provides for direct entry into skilled work. And even if the grids don't apply exactly you can argue that the grid framework applies.

You just need doctor objective documents and a lawyer. I have Degenerated disc disease (X-ray) plus other nerve pains and anxiety and depression. I was software engineer with BS in CS with long work. I last work at age 49. Exhausted short term disability. Denied LTD. I applied SSDI at 51, denied few times and won at age 56. I paid a lot in taxes for many years and may as well get them back as earlier as possible.

That happened to me also. I'm 56 and applied a little over two years ago. I even had a hearing and still got denied. I think I exhausted all of my appeals and they told me I'd have to go to the courthouse and file a civil suit. I have no idea what that even means. I would've gotten a lawyer except I had to sell my car a year after I applied and have no way to get around to these various places now.

How can you provide proof when you was a newbie going into the military and by the time you get out, you don't know if your entitled to anything. That's what happened to me. I was paying dental and medical insurance only to find out that I could have gone to the VA. That was probably a lost of $35,000 over my life time when working.

At 20 you would have a real uphill battle. The definition of disability is the same for SSI and SSDI but at 20 your medical record needs to be extremely strong.

@imxploring 3 жыл бұрын

SSI is a welfare program that does not require the payment of taxes or work credits to become eligible. It is often confused with SSDI which requires such. The only commonality is that the SSA administers both programs and the definition of disability is the same.

I am 58 and had to retire after 35 years working because of C-PTSD. One month and 4 years and I would have reached 40 years and received much more. I have a long history of mental illness and have doctors and therapists documentation. However, I am afraid of being denied. If they deny someone with a visible disability how can someone with a hidden illness win?

@ssdattorney Жыл бұрын

Stacci, my experience has been that SSD judges look for evidence that your mental health conditions significantly impact specific functioning that you would have to do at a job - attention/concentration; pace of work; emotional stability. A long work history helps as do extensive treatment records and support from your psychiatrist. But most cases come down to 3 types of evidence: 1. recent inpatient hospitalizations; or 2. recent suicide attempts or 3. multiple failed treatment efforts by your doc - such as multiple efforts to find medication that controls symptoms, none of which work consistently.
