What Is An SSDI Disability?
To be eligible to receive Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits, there are certain requirements that must be met. It is essential that you have documentation that details your inability to work for a minimum of 12 months due to your stated and medically supported disability. The physical or mental disability noted, or both, may qualify you for SSDI also if your condition has the potential of causing death.
When used pertaining to SSDI, disability refers to any medical condition that may impact your ability to work for the required period (12 months or more), including any physical injury, illness, mental disorder, brain impairment or other serious medical condition that significantly impairs your ability to work.

Work Impairment
Social Security Disability laws are strict when it comes to the issue of work impairment. Even if you are unable to return to your previous occupation, you are not eligible for benefits if you are able to transition to a new occupation. Your education, work history, age and other factors will be taken into consideration when determining your ability to find work. For disabled individuals 50 and over, there is an assumption that it is more difficult to transition to a new field of employment. Visit our section on 50 and over claims to learn more.
If retained to handle your case, our job is to build a compelling case for the SSDI benefits you are entitled to receive. If you are not eligible for SSDI benefits, you may still be eligible for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits.
