Billerica, Massachusetts Social Security Disability Lawyers

Billerica, Massachusetts has a growing population. It’s a draw because it’s a strong community with a strong work ethic. Billerica residents know the value of hard work. Unfortunately, not everyone is able to work in the way they’d want to. Whether it’s due to a physical impairment or a mental impairment, many people are prevented from working no matter how badly they want to.

Luckily, there are Disability Benefits available for people in this situation. This allows people to live their lives without worrying about where the money will come from to pay their rent or buy groceries, whether you are from Billerica or any of the surrounding communities.

Types of Disability Benefits

Social Security Disability comes in two forms. First, there is Social Security Disability Insurance, which is commonly known as “SSDI.” This is a type of insurance that everyone pays when taxes come out of their weekly check. That is why SSDI benefits are available to those who have worked enough “quarters” over the past 10 years. If you end up getting approved for SSDI, the amount of your benefits will depend on your earnings over your previous 10 years of employment.

The other type of Disability Benefit is Supplemental Security Income, commonly known as “SSI.” This is for people who are disabled and don’t have the funds to pay for basic necessities. This is why people applying for SSI need to fill out forms listing their assets in addition to providing proof that they are diabled.

Physical vs. Mental Impairments

The Social Security Administration does not discriminate when it comes to what kind of impairment keeps you from working. Whether it’s a chronic back problem that prevents you from doing any sort of work or depressing that keeps you from being a reliable employee that can work on a set schedule, it doesn’t matter. As long as your condition keeps you from engaging in Substantial Gainful Employment, you are likely eligible for Social Security Disability.
