I am disabled, is SSI, SSDI right for me?

If you're disabled, you may qualify for SSI or SSDI benefits. If you've had doubts about applying, you may want to reconsider. Every day you wait can result in a loss of benefits, that's because you are eligible for benefits from the day you become disabled. There is a cap on this of about one year, so saying you became disabled in 1975 won't help for 2008.

There are several ways you can apply for SSI and SSDI benefits. These methods include:

• Walking into a Social Security Office and fill out a disability application
• Calling Social Security from their toll free number: 1-800-772-1213
• Applying online at ssa.gov

Will you need a Social Security lawyer for your application? Perhaps. That's for you to decide. If are are considering involving a lawyer you'll be refreshed to learn how the Social Security attorney fees work. Below is some more information about Social Security lawyers.
