I have a benign brain tumor and feel that Im unable to continue working. Do I qualify for Florida disability benefits? If so, what should I do?
A:
You may be eligible for Florida disability benefits. In order to determine your eligibility, you would have to file a claim with the Social Security Administration office. A Social Security examiner will then conduct an in depth review regarding your tumor.
During this time, the examiner will request your medical records, pathology report, and laboratory tests, among other doctor notes. He or she will review your impairment based on the Social Security guidelines to determine if you are eligible to work or to receive disability benefits.
The process can be lengthy and confusing. Just filing the paperwork alone is critical to your disability claim. Your first step should be to meet with an experienced South Florida Social Security disability attorney to find out more about the process for filing a disability claim.
A qualified attorney will be able to answer your legal questions and give you insight if they think you will qualify for any benefits based on your medical findings. You can talk with a knowledgeable Broward County disability attorney at the Law Offices of David Benenfeld at 866-9 HELP NOW or 866-943-5766 for a free legal consultation today.

FAQs
Social Security Disability Insurance
- I have taken over the counter pain relievers for years. My Broward County M.D. just told me I may be at risk for liver disease, or Cirrhosis. I’m not even a drinker, is that possible?
- Many years ago I was diagnosed with epilepsy. At that time, I was able to control my condition with medication, and my Broward County employer gave me permission to work from home. Now that I’m having more seizures, I am concerned that it is not safe for me to be working anymore. I heard I may qualify for disability benefits. What should I do now?
- My blood disorder doesn’t necessarily fit the listing requirement that Social Security has in place. Does that mean that I may not qualify for disability benefits?
