A
bad accident could leave you more or less permanently unable to
continue with your career, and your social security disability
insurance is a safety net that protects you in such cases where you
can be compensated. Nevertheless, for you to be eligible for this
insurance, you should first meet a set of requirements, starting
with whether or not you are in fact “disabled” in the first
place.
No
Substantial Gainful Work
Primarily,
a disabled person should not be able to do any substantial work
efficiently as a result of his injuries. The general rule this year
(2014) is that you should not be able to get gainful employment with
a salary of more than $1,070 a month. Anyone getting over this amount
no longer qualifies as disabled.
Medical
Records
Your
medical records after your injuries should contain solid evidence of
mental or physical impairment (such as long-term PTSD or permanent
paralysis). Moreover, it should also show that the damage is such
that you can no longer operate some of the basic motor skills needed
to do your job.
Automatic
Qualifications
Of
course, there are also conditions that are known to be so severe,
they automatically qualify you as disabled. Some of these include
certain spinal disorders, fractures in the upper extremity, epilepsy,
and autistic disorders, among others.
