Synopsis

Social Security disability is an enormous program, with hundreds of thousands of people participating each year. Consequently, it's easy for both participants and first-time applicants to get lost in the system's bureaucracy. 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 those who already receive Social Security disability, Dr. David Morton's book demystifies the program in plain English, thoroughly explaining: § 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
