Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits are a financial lifeline when health problems make it impossible for you to work.
They provide monthly income, letting you keep up with bills and focus on your well-being more than your worries. They also provide back pay for the time you spend waiting on benefits approval, which can help you pay off built-up debts.
But you may have heard that most people who apply for SSDI benefits get denied.
It’s true. In a recent 10-year period, Social Security denied two-thirds of people who tried to get disability benefits.
How can you deal with that?
