What you shouldnt believe
about SSD
by Lala Balattan
The Social Security and Supplemental Security Income disability programs are
the largest of several Federal programs that provide assistance to people with
disabilities. American citizens have come to be aware that with the Social
Security programs for disability benefits and SSI, security is still there for
them, even as they are physically restricted, burdened with an illness and
unable to work anymore.
However, the Social Security is not committed to making massive awareness and
information regarding such programs as the vast public are continually in
ignorance of its procedures, policies and workings. Because of this, several
misconceptions and false expectations have been harbored by many who were
misinformed of the social securitys policy. Alas! Many are greatly disillusioned
by the time they have come through handling their own applications for
disability / SSI claims.
A foremost example of a misconception is that "the Social Security denies
everyone the first time they apply for disability". Arbitrariness is never a
method in the Social Security. Disability applications are filed at the Social
Security Office and are subject for evaluation. Completed disability
applications are sent to a state agency called Disability Determination Services
(DDS). At DDS, they are assigned to disability specialists known as Examiners.
Examiners are the individuals who make decisions on Social Security cases (at
the initial and Reconsideration Levels).
Though not all are denied, it is frustrating to note that after months of
waiting, 70% of the population that applied for disability claims are denied!
Another misguided information is that the "Social Security denies you a certain
number of times before you are approved and can receive disability benefits"
should not be believed. During the long wait for the processing of disability /
SSI claims applications, many different factors affect the approval and/or
denial of applications. Each case are different among others, thus, reasons for
approval and/or denial, whether how many times are not always the same.
Meanwhile, a statement from your physician supporting your case cannot
automatically get you approved for benefits. Why, of course! No one who ever
passed a disability claim application at the SSA with or without the supporting
statements of a physician have ever been automatically approved. Your physicians
medical report on your disability will have to go through inspection of the DDS
and eventually, if continually denied, into the judgment of the Administrative
Law Judge to weigh the facts presented if you are really entitled to the
benefits.
What others are claiming that "certain conditions, disabilities, or medical
health problems can get you automatically approved for benefits", is not even
close to the truth. While certain conditions, disabilities or medical health
problems do get the claimant involved approved for benefits, the SSA procedures
entails that no claimants application be automatically denied and/or approved.
Saying that the best solution upon denial of an application is to file another
brand new application in order to plead your case and appeal, is another
misguided idea. While it is right to appeal for your application, it is not a
good solution to begin all over again. The only way to continue you claim is to
request for reconsideration, and with it, the necessary additions that may
strongly support your claim.
Another myth states that you cant be awarded social security disability benefits
if you have ever used drugs or alcohol. If that is so, then the state is denying
disability benefits to the entire population since at one point in their lives,
they certainly may have used drugs or alcohol! This is such an utter mix-up of
the law stating that disability benefit shall be denied to those whose
impairment was caused by addiction to drugs and alcohol.
There are yet other misguided ideas and information that still burrowed in the
minds of citizens, especially those who are aiming to apply for disability
claims. Unless a serious information drive campaign be done in order to answer
all questions and to banish all myths in the minds of the people, more and more
would still cling to farfetched ideas and false hopes in the Social Security
Administrations system
