Defending Social Security Disability

Recently, many reports and studies have been critical of the Social Security Disability program. Also some newspaper articles have been critical of the program.

A new report has now been written explaining the Social Security Disability Program and answering its critics.

The new report explains that the rise in Social Security Disability rolls is due to the aging of the US population and the rising retirement age. The paper explains that baby boomers are reaching their disability years, thus increasing Social Security Disability costs.

The paper explains that the Social Security Disability system is not out of control. Indeed, only 41 percent of applicants are ultimately allowed benefits. This is due to the stringent and strict standards of the Social Security Disability system.

Those who are fortunate enough to receive benefits secure only modest amounts. These modest amounts are vital to the well being of Social Security Claimants and their families. The paper notes that Social Security Disability Benefits make up more than 75 percent of the total income for most beneficiaries and their families.

Given the low approval rate (41%) for Social Security Disability Claims, a disabled individual is best advised to seek the help of an experienced Social Security Disability Attorney to get Social Security Disability help.
