Educate yourself on disability attorney
Can I get partial disability through SSA? No, Social Security does not offer disability benefits to people with partial or short term disabilities. You are eligible for social security benefits only if you are deemed completely disabled and your disability is likely to last a year or more. (Note that as long as your highest possible income is below an SSA determined level, you may work while collecting disability benefits. ) I cannot work as long as before or at the same skill level, so although I still have a job, my income has dropped. Can I still file for social security benefits? Yes, if your income is lower than a certain SSA determined level, you are eligible to file for disability benefits.
