If you are applying for disability benefits, you may be wondering how long they will last once you are approved. For many people, Social Security disability will last until they get to retirement age, where they will then switch to retirement. Your SSD benefits can also stop if you no longer meet the requirements for disability benefits.
With the Social Security Administration (SSA) denying a majority of claims for disability benefits, you should prepare for the worst-case scenario by hiring a Social Security disability attorney. The first step in the appeal process is called reconsideration and if the SSA denies your appeal for reconsideration, you have three more opportunities to get your disability claim approved.

The rating percentage is meant to reflect how severe the medical condition is.
Many disability benefit claims are denied due to a lack of medical evidence. This is why documenting your disabling condition is important for your claim. The sorts of documents required by the Social Security Administration (SSA) are medical reports from your treating physician with your diagnosis, treatment and recovery time, results of tests and the Residual Functional Capacity (RFC) report conducted by your physician which assesses both your physical and mental functions caused by your disability.
