Over Age 50 Disability

The Law Office of Clark, James, Hanlin, and Hunt

Birmingham Alabama SSI and SSD Claims Attorneys

People over the age of 50 face unique challenges when an injury or illness prevents them from working. Performing tasks in a timely manner may no longer be possible after disability adversely affects one's physical strength and work skills. And labor statistics show that fewer full time jobs exist for persons over the age of 50 than for younger individuals. The law office of Clark, James, Hanlin, and Hunt explains the benefits structure available to disabled people over 50 and assists clients in taking advantages of allowances within the law applicable to their situation. While you may be medically eligible to receive benefits, understanding the "over age 50 guidelines" is important when filing Social Security Disability (SSD) claims for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits.

What Could Affect Your Application

After consulting one-on-one with you, we will explain the "over age 50 guidelines" in order to determine how and if you qualify for Social Security Disability benefits. The following factors will affect your eligibility:

Level of Education

• Depending on your level of education, you may be qualified to perform certain kinds of desk jobs that require little, if any, physical exertion. However, if you don't have a college degree or high school diploma, you may not qualify for jobs you could otherwise physically perform.

Work History

• Your work history may or may not qualify you for a job your disability could accommodate. If you no longer can perform physically demanding jobs and are over the age of fifty then you may qualify for the "over age 50 guidelines" and be found entitled to disability benefits.

Evaluating Your Options

Once our Social Security Disability claims attorneys review your history, education, and medical condition, we will identify benefits you may be eligible to receive. Working with doctors, our office gathers information, prepares records, and presents your case to an Administrative Law Judge. We protect your interests and carefully guide you through every step of the process, ensuring you have the information and legal representation you need to successfully qualify for disability benefits.
