- Social Security Administration (SSA) Website: The SSA website is a valuable resource for information on Social Security Disability benefits, eligibility requirements, and the application process. You can also use the website to check the status of your claim.
- Disability Evaluation Under Social Security (Blue Book): The Blue Book is a manual that the SSA uses to evaluate disability claims. It lists medical conditions that are considered disabling and the criteria that must be met to qualify for benefits.
- Social Security Disability Forms: The SSA website offers a range of forms that are necessary for filing a Social Security Disability claim. These include the initial application, appeals forms, and forms for providing medical information.
- Social Security Disability Calculator: The SSA website also offers a calculator that estimates the amount of Social Security Disability benefits you may be eligible to receive based on your earnings history.
- Social Security Disability Support Groups: Support groups can provide emotional and informational support for individuals with disabilities. The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) offers support groups for individuals with mental health conditions, and the National Organization on Disability (NOD) offers resources and support for individuals with all types of disabilities.
