Nolo's Guide to Social Security Disability
Getting & Keeping Your Benefits
David A. Morton III
About This Book
Nolo's Guide to Social Security Disability covers the criteria for getting disability benefits for back problems, heart and cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, autoimmune diseases, mental issues like depression and anxiety, and 200 other medical conditions.
Learn how to match the medical details of your disability to Social Security regulations to make sure you have the right evidence to qualify for the benefits you're due when you apply.
This guide is written by a former Chief Medical Consultant for the Social Security Administration whose expert deciphering of the medical portions of SSA regulations will help you understand how you can get benefits. If you've been denied benefits already, this book will tell you how to find out why and what steps to take to prove that you should get benefits on appeal.
This edition is completely updated with the latest rules and information (including changes to the musculoskeletal listings) plus updated figures for 2022.
