If you are considering filing for Social Security Disability and are 55 years old or older you probably have a very good chance of being approved.
Once you reach age 55 and are able to prove that your medical conditions limit you to unskilled light work, you will likely be found disabled. Younger individuals would have to prove that they are unable to transition into lighter type jobs; however at age 55 you do not have to prove this, instead it is assumed.
If you have questions about whether or not you can be approved for disability benefits at age 55 or older, feel free to contact our firm at (888) 996-1767 for a free consultation.
