In this great video you answered the most important questions that covers what needs to be known about SSDI, very well explained to any regular person out there looking for straight answers. Thank you very much Sir. Disable veteran here looking for answers!!
I've been on SSI for 7yrs. I've since then been diagnosed with austioathritis and I have had 2 surgeries and need to go in now again for the 3rd on my spine. I also had a total hip replacement because of the austioathritis. My doctor and surgeon said I won't get better and to learn to try and live with it. I also have gotten worse on the reasons I was approved for SSI in the 1st place. My question is, can I get SSDI and do I qualify for it?
Just want to say that I've been watching you and learning for over a year. I was so confident of your advice that I filed for my disability on my own. And I was approved! Thank you so much for your wisdom and kind heart. God bless you sir 🙏
Congratulations - glad the videos helped you. If you get a chance would you write a comment about your experience at jonathanginsberg.com/review-jonathan/testimonial-youtube/
I have enough work yrs and credits for ssdi but will I be able to win my claim with severe sleep apnea(43 times/hr stop breathn or wake up) with degenerative disc disease and spondolitis along with diagnosed severe depression currently treatn with meds and counseling? Thanks you👍🤷🏻♂️
You don't say how old you are (better if age 55+) but you will likely have an uphill battle. For whatever reason, sleep apnea does not seem to move the meter at SSA. In my experience depression has to be extremely severe (i.e., in patient hospitalizations, suicide attempts, multiple failed medication trials are what I look for) and back pain needs to be associated with disc herniations or nerve issues.
Age does play a factor,but again,if your attorney doesn't do their part and bring the age part up to a judge as a credibility to your case,you can still get denied,I'm 56 with a severe desease and so far I've been denied twice.
Presumably you take meds to treat a symptom of some medical condition. For example if you have chronic migraines but can't afford prescription meds, evidence that you take Excedrin Migraine would be relevant as opposed to taking no meds at all. Or you may have a condition for which you use non-prescription meds to control. It is all part of the big picture.
Great video Jonathan. Here's a question. "Can one's appearance negatively affect one's disability hearing? For instance, if your client has the outward appearance of being muscular and strong. Would the judge take his/her muscular appearance into account? Thanks! Keep up the good work!
Judges are not supposed to use a claimant's appearance in making a decision. Currently most hearings are held by phone so if you think you look to healthy, choose the phone option as opposed to video or in person.
What do you mean when you say you "signed up." If you applied 3+ years ago and have not heard anything, I am guessing that your claim was denied and you did not get the notice. You need to call SSA to find out what is going on.
What if: you worked 30 years, then were found disabled. You were on SSDI for 6 years, then found no longer disabled. You worked for 2 years then got much worse and applied for disability again. Now, you don't have enough credits, right? Because you were disabled 6 of the last 10 years.

If I have 40 credits but my history work is part time Iam eligible for SSDI

I am on ssdi will my benefit switch over to retirement social security when i turn 67
Question: why social security ask me if i take non-prescription medication? Its on the SSA-454-BK

Please do a video explaining that once you begin receiving social security retirement check you are disqualified from SSDI.

Download your "MySocialSecurity" statement to see what it says. You may be in the "extended period of disability" and thus still qualify.
