I will be adding pages for Social Security Disability benefits in individual states.  I will be starting with New Jersey.  I will provide information specific to each state.  This will take some time so check back to see if your state has been added.  I will include information on the location of Local Offices and local OHAs (ODAR).  I will get this information out as soon as possible.

In the near future I will have pages on some of the more common types of disabilities like back conditions and mental disorders.  I will explain what medical information you need and what you have to prove to win your Social Security Disability for specific types of back injuries and mental disorders.  I will include a discussion of the relevant medical listings.  So be sure to book mark this site and check back to get this valuable information.  I will in the future also have pages on other conditions. 

I have added a link to Social Security's web site on the application page so that you can find were to apply for Social Security Disability or SSI.

I have added additional information to the disability process page.  I have include information on the new disability process Social Security will use.  This new process is already being used in the Boston area and will soon be used everywhere.  I have also include my comments on potential problems with the new Social Security process.

There is a new disability process and in some areas it is already in affect.  Social Security is in a nation wide change to paperless files.  Social Security is finally entering the electronic age.  Computer screens are popping up in Social Security hearing rooms all over the country.  In fact some states are already fully paperless.  Social Security is bringing in other changes as well including a completely new process for disability.  The new process is presently being tested in the New England area.  Stay tuned for more information on paperless files and the new process.

I just wanted to let you know about some new information I will be adding to the Ultimate Disability Guide.  Make sure you bookmark this site to see the changes.  I will be making RFCs available in the RFC section of this site.  I also plan to include what an actual decision looks like from an ALJ.  I also plan to put other documents common to the disability process in this site.  If there is anything you think I should add to the site please don't hesitate to let me know.

The reason I decided to write this website is because I want everyone who is trying to get Social Security Disability (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) to have access to free information that can help them win their benefits.  If you read this entire website, you will have a better understanding of how Social Security decides your case.  I also provide some tips on improving your chances of winning your claim.  I have tried to share my experience in dealing with thousands of SSDI, SSI and child SSI claims.  You will find information on every stage of the administrative process.  Social Security Disability law is very complex and I tried to simplify the information to make it as understandable as possible.  I do hope that after reading this site you will be able to help your claim be successful.  Some of you have attorneys and this is not a substitute for following his/her advice.  It is also not a substitute for getting a lawyer to discuss your particular case.  This is just a starting point to understanding how Social Security Disability works.  Take it upon yourself to gain as much knowledge as you can.  A person who has some understanding of how the process works has a better chance of success than one who has no knowledge of Social Security.  

This is the first day of my Social Security Disability information site.  I have tried to construct a web site with SSDI and SSI information that can help someone win their Social Security disability claim.  This site has taken me months of working late at night after work to complete.  I plan for this site to be updated constantly and will strive to keep the information up to date and accurate.
