When Can I Apply for Social Security Disability Benefits?

You may apply for Social Security Disability benefits as soon as you have a “disability” that prevents you from working.

It is in your interest to file your Social Security Disability claim as soon as you qualify for many reasons, including:

The Social Security Administration review usually takes months. The sooner you file, the sooner you could get approved – and start getting your Social Security Disability benefits.

If the Social Security Administration denies your initial application, you may need to appeal and wait for a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge. This appeal process can take a year or more.

The Social Security Administration only pays past Social Security Disability benefits for the 12 months before you filed your initial application, even if your “disability” started many years ago.

We want to help protect your legal rights and get you the Social Security Disability benefits you deserve.
