Embassy for the Steverson Collection (www.ekmk.hu) and the Steverson Collection Book Club.
socialNsecurity, Judge Steverson's book, explains the Five Step Disability Evaluation Process and attempts to explain why the System does not work as it was intended. It describes the rules, regulations, exceptions, and court decisions that determine the outcome of an application for disability benefits. This is not another "how to" book about filing for Social Security disability benefits. This book is about how the system works. It concerns the nature of the Social Security Disability Determination process. Written by a veteran Social Security Judge this book will simplify the process and make the Social Security Disability Process work for you.
Have you ever wondered how to get Social Security Disability benefits or why your application was denied?
Whether you are an attorney representing claimants or a claimant trying to act as your own representative, this book will show you how to prevail and collect the benefits to which you are entitled.
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) are the two largest Federal assistance programs that provide financial support to those with disabilities. To qualify for benefits, you must meet specific medical criteria outlined by the Social Security Administration (SSA).
The application process can be extremely complicated and confusing.
Have you ever asked yourself:
- Who is eligible for Social Security Disability Benefits?
- Can I apply for Social Security Disability or SSI?
- How could I increase my chance of winning Disability and/or SSI benefits?
- How much money would I receive in monthly payments?
- Can I work and receive Social Security Disability Payments?
- Is my family entitled to Social Security Disability benefits?
- What diseases are considered for Social Security Disability benefits and SSI?
- Do I have to hire a lawyer?
As legal advice must be tailored to the specific circumstances of each case, and laws are constantly changing, nothing provided in the book should be used as a substitute for the advice of competent counsel. To order the book or for more information, visit judgelondonsteverson.com.
