This information may help claimants with representation, as well as claimants who are not represented by an attorney or non attorney representative. Understanding how the Social Security Disability system works can make the difference between winning or not winning the continuing disability benefits and backpay to which a person is entitled. To win a claim for ongoing and past due benefits, claimants should learn about the disability process to improve their chances of winning. |

Yes, a younger person can win ssd or ssi disability benefits.
While it is true that the rules governing medical vocational allowances for disability claimants are more favorable to those fifty and over, (and especially those fifty-five and older), it is also true that any claimant, regardless of age, can be found disabled and approved for benefits. Simply put, it is not harder for younger individuals to win disability cases. It is simply easier for older individuals to win disability cases. In all instances, a claimant's case is decided on the strength of the medical records, and a determination of whether or not a claimant can return to past work, or engage in some type of "other work". * With regard to children's cases, the focus will not be on work, but, rather, the ability to engage in age-appropriate activities. If a claimant cannot be expected to return to "past work" or engage in "other work", a disability approval will be granted. Disability Advocates Help with Claims Free Case Evaluation |
