Product Description
The complete guide to understanding-and benefiting from-the Social Security disability system
Nolo's Guide to Social Security Disability is an essential book for anyone dealing with a long-term or permanent disability. Written both for first-time applicants and existing recipients of Social Security disability, the book demystifies the program and tells you everything you need to know about qualifying and applying for benefits, maintaining your benefits and appealing the denial of a claim. This comprehensive guide also explains:
what Social Security disability is
what benefits are available to disabled children
how to prove a disability
how age, education and work experience affect benefits
whether or not one can work while receiving benefits
how to appeal a denial of benefits
how to respond to a Continuing Disability Review
and much more
This step-by-step guidance allows you to match medical details of your disability to the SSA regulations that will qualify you for benefits and shows how to apply for those benefits. Additionally, the author's background in medicine gives him the distinct ability to decipher the medical portions of the SSA regulations as no one but a doctor could.
The 5th edition contains: new and updated descriptions of SSA regulations governing immune and digestive system disorders; updated information on the "ticket-to-work" program (which provides new training and opportunities for disabled workers); the latest new SSA forms and instructions (with sample filled-in forms throughout), plus updated figures, fees, and contact information.

 An Excellent Tool For Evaluating and Preparing Disability Applications August 26, 2010
Ira Laefsky (Philadelphia, PA)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
As one who has experienced disability processes and having relatives and friends who tried to negotiate the SSI and SSDI process, I know that how able one is negotiating the activities of daily living and how able or unable one is to meet the needs of the workplace is only a small part of the documentation process in qualifying for Social Security Disability. Whether or not one is working with an attorney or because of real disability is trying to negotiate the Federal disability process this book and the accompanying CD will often be the difference between a legitimate but improperly documented claim and many stages of administrative review, and an accepted SSI or SSDI disability claim.

I am always pleased with NoLo publications. They are so much cheaper than hiring an attorney, and there is no need with this book. It is detailed enough for people with no legal education. It is written by a medical doctor, not an attorney.

I wish we would of had this book before we had filed for my husband's disability! This book is easy to understand and a wealth of knowlege!
A worthy reference guide to Social Security Disability August 23, 2010
Larry (Lilburn, Georgia United States)
When reading the material in this guide I found the information to be accurate and comprehensive. The guide assists you with the process for filing for Social Security Disability benefits and keeping your benefits.
Chapters include applying for disability, getting benefits, proving you are disabled, appealing if your claim is denied and your right to representation.
There is included a CD-ROM with sections 1-14 of the book. The sections list different disabilities that are explained in detail.
I would advise that you read the book, check for updates on the Nolo website, and hire a disability advocate representative or attorney to help when you file a claim. Although the book is great help for navigating the paperwork and red tape that you have to go through, a live person that you can ask questions and be your representative is key.
Must Read for Claimants August 6, 2010
L A. (NY USA)
This book lays out the whole process of filing and keeping SS Disability benefits. It explains in easy to read language the intimidating process of negotiating the bureaucratic rules of the SSA and how to comply with those rules to receive the highest benefit possible. It explains what conditions are eligible for benefits and which are not. It is easy to read and includes almost all of the forms one should need to fill out. This book is a great reference and a must have book for anyone who is filing or battling for thier benefits!
