My Disability Journey

In this episode, I cover some of the basics of my process to get on SSDI. My case was unique compared to many, so please do your research if you are applying for SSDI. My information is in no way legal advice, so please consult an attorney for any specific questions you may have.

 

The place to start is the Social Security Website. Here is a listing of what you need to apply for disability (https://www.ssa.gov/hlp/radr/10/ovw001-checklist.pdf). There are also some good sites that provide disability information. Here is a list of some I have looked at. Please be aware that some of these sites are from attorneys and I am not recommending that you use them. I just like the information that is provided.
