If your'e thinking of looking into the federal disability program, and by that I mean social security disability or ssi, then you'll find that there is quite a bit of information availabe online, much of it at social security's own website. Unfortunately, as many individuals have noted, the U.S. government's online resource is not the easiest to navigate when it comes to finding disability related information. Fortunately, though, there are other sources of information. For instance, the social security disability coalition, which is an msn user support group, provides a lot of valuable firsthand feedback from individuals who are currently pursuing a disability claim in the SSD SSI system. Another good resource is the SSA connect site, established by the disability lawyer, David Traver. The drawback to using this site, however, is the fact that most of the forum's participants are practicing disability attorneys and, therefore, a large bulk of the conversation tends to revolve around professional issues as they relate to claimant representation. Finally, there is this site, disabilitysecrets, which was started primarily to provide information and answers to many of the basic questions that disability claimants have but often have trouble finding answers to. However, all ssdi (social security disability insurance) and ssi claimants should remember this one fact regarding information that is obtained on the web: despite the fact that these programs are federal and uniformly applied through all states, each applicant's case is different and somewhat unique. And for this reason, the best source of information available to a claimant will usually come from the individuals handling their own specific case, including their local social security office, the disability examiner handling their claim, and the attorney or lawyer representing their claim.
