 I get it, you're young, you don't think social security is for you, but guess what? You're wrong. The Social Security Administration may be able to provide benefits for you. My name is Tony Vieira, I'm an attorney with 22 years experience handling disability claims and I'm here to share with you three big myths that most people get wrong about the social security disability process. Number one, the number one myth is, I'm young, I can't be found disabled. Did you know that 25% of all workers will end up being disabled and having to stop working before retirement age? This happens to young people, it happens to older people. To qualify for disability benefits, the Social Security Administration just requires you to have a condition that makes you unable to work for at least 12 months. Myth number two, only horrific catastrophic conditions qualify. You might be thinking, but I'm not in a wheelchair, I've got my arms, I couldn't possibly qualify for social security benefits. You're wrong. To qualify for disability benefits, any physical, psychological condition, something you were born with, so long as it leaves you unable to work for 12 months or more, you might qualify for benefits. The third thing that most people get wrong, the third myth is, okay, I know I have conditions, I've got a good case, but I can't afford to wait years for social security to help me out. That's wrong too. The Social Security Administration can expedite cases. The Compassionate Allowance Program is there, and if you meet the criteria for those benefits, they will actually speed up the process for you. The best advice I can give you, if you think you qualify, if you want to talk to someone about how to make the process go by faster, talk to an experienced attorney.
