THE TRUSTED, WELCOMING, ETHICAL LAW FIRM YOU NEED

Applying For SSDI Over Age 50

Anyone can become disabled at any age. A serious medical condition can make it difficult for you to live the life you are used to living, much less work a job. Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is a federal benefit program that helps meet the financial and medical needs of Americans who become disabled due to illness, injury or another life-changing condition.You may be wondering if age is a factor if you or a loved one qualifies for Social Security Disability benefits. The good news is that in general, people over the age of 50 are more likely to receive SSDI than younger people. The problem is that the process is bureaucratic and lengthy; without an experienced lawyer on your side, you may not be granted the benefits you are supposed to have.

The Social Security Administration recognizes a wide variety of qualifying disabilities, including common conditions like permanent back injuries and heart disease, as well as many rare conditions. If you have questions, please call our SSDI attorneys at 859-905-0936 for a free case evaluation.
