Social Security Disability Benefits

What To Know About Social Security Disability (SSD) Benefits

Many people know that the federal government provides disability benefits through the Social Security Administration. These benefits can take the form of Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI or SSD), Supplemental Security Income (SSI), childhood disability benefits or survivor death benefits. In some cases these benefits can overlap or be obtained along with separate benefits for military veterans from the Veterans’ Administration (VA).

In theory, a person shouldn’t need a lawyer to get benefits to which he or she is entitled by federal law. In reality, having an experienced lawyer on your side can change the outcome of your Social Security case.
