“Disability” is defined by Social Security Administration as the inability to engage in any substantial gainful activity (SGA) due to a physical and/or mental impairment, that has lasted or expected to last 12 months or more, or result in death.

The substantial gainful activity or SGA is the level of income and activity that determines if you are disabled or not. If one is engaging in substantial gainful activity then they are not considered disabled. For 2021, the SGA is earning $1,310 or more a month ($2,190 or more a month for blind people). 

A Social Security Disability attorney has experience in dealing with the Social Security Administration (SSA) and will guide you throughout the application process. 

A Social Security Disability attorney will not receive payment unless they win your case. The attorney is paid a standard fee from your back payments/back pay. The back payments are benefits that accrued while you were waiting for Social Security to approve your case. The standard fee is 25% of the back payments with a cap of $6,000. 

Yes, you can! Social Security disability benefits are not just for those who have a physical impairment. You can have either a mental or physical impairment or both! Severe depression, an anxiety disorder, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and PTSD are just an example of mental and psychological disabilities that can qualify you to receive Social Security benefits.
