Is it difficult to qualify for Social Security disability? Everyone has heard that all Social Security disability claims are denied at the initial level, however nearly forty percent of all initial disability claims are an allowance. Unfortunately, that means that although forty percent are allowed, sixty percent are denied. It is hard to qualify for disability for various reasons. Social Security requires that you have been unable to work at a substantial level for twelve months or that you expect to be unable to work for twelve months due to your medical and/or mental conditions, and many individuals with significant health problems are forced to go back to work in order to support themselves and their families. Additionally, the medical and vocational rules that Social Security uses to determine if an individual is qualified for disability are usually not sympathetic to younger individuals. Consequently, it is very often hard for a younger individual to qualify for Social Security disability, even though they have significant mental and/or medical impairments. Whether an individual is younger or older, the rules and regulations governing the Social Security disability process make it difficult to qualify for disability. Individuals often have to use the disability appeal process to qualify for disability, and this process may take months or even years to complete.
