Q: Why are applications for social security disability benefits so frequently denied?
A: The main reason most applications are denied is due to insufficient medical data. Even in what seems like obvious conditions, a claim is only as strong as the evidence provided to support it. For some claims the lack of evidence can be caused by inadequate supporting documentation from the primary doctor of the applicant. In order to receive approval, an application for social security disability benefits must provide evidence that the injury of a claimant prevents him from working in previous fields of employment, as well as other qualified work possibilities. The claim examiner for your case will not be able to make a fair judgment if your file does not have current medical data or supporting documentation from your doctor, no matter what your injury. To give your claim the best chance, be certain that you have received current care for your condition and that Social Security has all the medical records and supporting data to provide a thorough understanding of your situation. Medical evidence that supports your case is the most important aspect of your application.
Q: Can a creditor take your social security disability benefits checks?
A: If you currently receive supplemental security income payments, no creditor can touch those payments. Those who collect SSDI payments, however, are not immune from all collections agencies. Your benefits checks cannot be collected on behalf of banks, lenders, credit card agencies, individuals and other such entities to which you may owe money. Government entities can collect your benefits checks, however. For instance, the government can dip into your social security disability benefits payments if you are behind on a government insured student loan. The only other agencies who can collect your benefits checks are those handling your delinquent child support or alimony payments.
Q: Can owning rental properties hurt your chances of being awarded approval for social security disability?
A: Only your ability to earn a working wage affects determination of social security disability benefits. Rental income and other investments will not be a factor in this determination. If, however, you are applying for supplemental security income benefits, rental payments and other investments are a factor. Only those with limited financial resources are eligible for Supplement Security Income benefits.
