Applying for Disability Benefits Does Not Have To Be So Scary

By Jim of Allsup

You’ve probably heard horror stories about how many people who apply for disability benefits are denied.

Yes, there are long lines of people waiting for a hearing on their Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) claims. Unfortunately, the stories are true. Today, more than a million people are waiting years in a line for a decision.

Applying for disability benefits can be a grueling process, and no one is more eager for a favorable decision than you.
