Charleston Childhood Disability Benefits

Typically when thinking about the struggle of those seeking disability payments, it is the middle-aged or elderly who come to mind. This is probably a combination of the reality that you have witnessed, where the majority of those whom you have encountered with disabilities are adults, and those applying for disability benefits would be of laboring or retirement age. While there are certainly millions of Americans who would fit into this imagined role, there are other, younger people who find themselves in need of the same social protections.

The Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program allows for anyone over the age of 18 who was disabled before the age of 22 to receive benefit payments under the social security account of his or her parents under certain conditions. One of those conditions is that a living parent must qualify for payments from either Social Security Disability or Social Security’s retirement scheme.

In the event that the benefits are sought in conjunction with the Social Security record of a deceased parent, he or she must have earned enough qualifying credits to qualify for the consideration of survivor benefits.

In either case, the Charleston social security lawyers of the Steinberg Law Firm understand how important it is that you receive the benefits to which you are entitled if you are disabled as a child and therefore are unable to work as an adult. One of our experienced attorneys can represent you in your claim so that you are less likely to be rejected on a technicality. Your life and income are too important to take chances with.
