GETTING SOCIAL SECURITY DISABIILTY AT AGE 50

If you are age 50 or over, you may qualify for Social Security benefits for any physical or mental condition which prevents you from full-time work.

Yes, younger individuals may also qualify.  However, Social Security uses Medical-Vocational Guidelines which relax the requirements somewhat for persons age 50 and over.

In addition to your age, other factors include your past work experience and education.  But being age 50 or more is the greatest single advantage a claimant has in being approved for Social Security benefits.

The Forsythe Firm will provide you with a free case evaluation and local consultation.  If we represent you, you will never pay a fee until you get benefits with back payments.  If you do not win benefits you will never pay us a fee for any service we perform.

Contact us at (256) 799-0297.  We're located across from Bridge Street.
