Social security attorney florida The basics
Q: I've heard I can't file for Social Security for 12 months after my disability. Do I have to wait? A: No, you do not have to wait to apply. According to the Social Security Administration, an eligible disability is one that prevents you from making a sufficient income. In the "small print" it goes on to say that your disability either needs to be fatal, or to have lasted or be expected to last one year or more. If you don't speak to a social security lawyer, it can be easy to assume that you have to wait until the year has passed to apply for disability.
