If you have a serious health condition that will last at least 12 months and keeps you from being able to work, you may be eligible for Social Security disability benefits. It doesn't matter whether your condition is physical or mental, or caused by an accident or illness.

The rules for Social Security disability are unlike Worker’s Compensation or state disability. For example, a doctor’s note that you cannot work is not sufficient. You must have medical records that show what your condition is and how long it has lasted. The Social Security Administration will review those records and decide whether you are qualified for benefits. If you disagree with the decision, you can appeal, and an experienced attorney can help you.
