General Information
The average social security benefit is $1200/month (including retirement and survivor benefits). The payments could go to as much as $2500/month for high wage earners. Receiving worker's comp income can reduce a social security disability benefit.
In 2012, more than 3.2 million people have applied for the either Social Security Disability or Supplemental Social Security Income in the U.S. Some predict funds will dry up by 2017 if the federal government doesn’t take action.
Claims have increased by 25% over the past 5 years, and have created a backlog of over 1 million overdue follow-up reviews for current recipients.
SSD denial rates are also continuing to climb to historical levels. For that reason, it is always a good idea to hire a social security disability law firm to help with the application process and increase your chances of approval.
