Unfortunately, the title to this post is true. However, if you are disabled from being able to work due to your medical conditions it is important that you not give up and continued to pursue your claim. Many good Social Security disability cases that ultimately end up winning will get one or several denials before they ultimately prevail. The Social Security system is far from perfect so the best thing you can do is make sure you do everything you can to give yourself the best chance to win no matter how good you think your case is. In many cases, people take for granted that they will win their case because they feel it is obvious that they are disabled. But if you do not get all the evidence you need and present your case in a way that shows you are disabled under Social Security rules then you are taking a risk that you will lose. Hire a Social Security disability lawyer if you do not fully understand what you have to prove to win or do not have the ability to present it in a way that will get you found disabled by SSA. There are even times when you have a lawyer, submitted all your evidence, and presented a well thought out theory of why you are disabled and deserving of benefits and you may still get a denial. This can happen because the person deciding your case may be of the opinion that very few people are truly disabled, or perhaps the person deciding your case is not interpreting the laws properly. There are many reasons you can be denied your SSD or SSI claim, some factors are in your control, and others are not. All you can do is make sure that the factors that you can control are taken care of and that you appeal the denial you get so that hopefully the next person deciding your claim will find in your favor. I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and continue to enjoy your weekend. I also hope that for those of you who have claims for Social Security disability or SSI that you win and soon. Good luck.

Over the next couple of weeks I will be adding a new page which will be devoted to questions asked of me by e-mail about Social Security Disability. You also find on this page my answers to the questions asked of me. I will of course, not include any names and it will only include general questions about SSDI or SSI. I am hoping by doing this I will give my readers a place to go to look up the most common questions I am asked about by e-mail. So make sure to bookmark my website and look for this new page in the future and hopefully it will answer many of the more common questions asked of me. I am doing this for a couple of reasons. First, it will give my readers a place to go to find the answers to many of their questions about Social Security disability and SSI. Second, by doing this I hope that it will reduce the need for many of you to have to e-mail me to get answers to questions you did not find on my website, or perhaps anywhere else on the web. I will be calling this page something like readers disability questions. So look for it and when it is up check back if you have further questions to see if your question is answered on this page. As always, you are always free to ask me questions by e-mail but hopefully this new page will make it that much easier for you to find answers to your disability questions.

I want to take this opportunity to thank all of our veterans and those actively serving in our nations military. I asked that anyone who reads this post tonight say a prayer for veterans and their families. We owe all that we have in this great country to those who served. Remember those who have fallen, those who fight for our freedom today, and for all veterans that have served to protect our nation and freedoms. Say a special prayer for those who are in danger every day overseas, for those who live with the scars both visible and not visible and for those who have lost their lives for us. Thank you and God bless all of you.
