Eligibility For Social Security Disability Benefits In Florida

Question: Is there a way to know if I am eligible for social security disability benefits in Florida?

Answer: In order to file a Social Security benefit claim in Florida, a person must have been seriously injured and be disabled for one year or more, or have an illness that may result in death within one year.

To be eligible for a Florida disability claim, an individual has to have worked for five of the last ten years and have become disabled and unable to work. You do not have to be “permanently disabled” to file a Social Security claim.

The paperwork to file a Social Security claim can be overwhelming.  An experienced Florida Social Security benefits lawyer can assist you with the process.

The Law Office of David Benenfeld can help you navigate through the system.  We can contact the doctor’s offices, compile necessary paperwork and records, as well as assist in arranging the necessary testing or evaluations that you may need.  Our goal is to help you get every benefit you are entitled to.
