WHEN SHOULD I APPLY FOR SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY?
You should apply for Social Security Disability as soon as you and your doctors agree that your disability is going to last a full year. You are not eligible for Social Security Disability if your condition doesn’t last a full year so many people have to wait for a while to see what happens with their medical conditions. Others, who have been struggling to work in spite of their disability and know the condition is not going away, should apply as soon as they stop working.
