Must I Wait 12 Months to File?

New York City Social Security Disability Lawyers

If you are unable to work and need Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits, do not wait to contact an experienced lawyer. You may have heard from a friend or family member that you must wait 12 months before filing for Social Security Disability benefits, but this is simply not accurate.

To be eligible for SSDI benefits, you must have a physical or mental disability that is expected to significantly impair your ability to work for at least 12 months. The key word is expected. If you have a severe physical or mental impairment that may keep you from working for at least a year, speak with an attorney immediately. To schedule a free consultation with a New York SSDI attorney, contact the Robert A. Koenigsberg Law Offices in New York City.
