Product Description
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

Nolo's Guide to Social Security Disability also provides in-depth information on various health problems, including:

* breathing disabilities
* heart disease
* mental disorders
* speech impairments
* cancer
* immune system disorders
* and much more

This comprehensive and compassionate book, packed with tear-out forms and a sample disability application, covers both Social Security Disability Insurance and Supplemental Security Income. User-friendly appendices translate bureaucratic terms, list medical-vocational rules, and provide a list of social-security benefit publications. Nolo's Guide to Social Security Disability is an indispensable resource for anyone suffering from any disability.
