What Does Social Security Mean by Disability

One person's definition of disabled may be different than another.

Is it enough to be unable to do the job that you have done for the past 20 or 30 years? What if you have had many jobs in the past? What is your doctor says you can't work?

Social Security has a strict definition of disability. Read about it here on their website. If you are denied, don't give up. Call us.
