Disability And A Strong Work History

Ever wonder why someone’s employment history is crucial in determining if a person should be entitled to social security disability benefits? A major misconception in the world of disability is that only a person’s medical condition matters when the Social Securty Administration decides if a person is disabled. This is simply not true.

A claimant’s medical condition is a big factor, but it’s not the only one in determining whether or not a person is entitled to disability benefits. A claimant’s earnings over the years and their employment history is also a major factor in the decision process.

Why does this matter?

For most people, as they earn a paycheck, they contribute into the social security system by paying social security taxes. By doing this, a person is insuring themselves for social security benefits.
