Social Security Disability can be a real help when you are disabled and can’t work. It can also help you if your disability only prevents you from working as much, as in working a part-time job. We refer to Social Security Disability as America’s safety net before because it is exactly that. It consists of monthly cash benefits you can receive during your time of dire need. However, with this in mind, who gets it, what does it take to apply for it and why do these applicants get this benefit? Our social security disability lawyers at the Lake of the Ozarks are here to answer that. If you find yourself needing assistance when applying for Social Security Disability, call Deputy and Mizell today at 573-346-9990.
