If you or a loved one has become disabled and are unable to work, you could be eligible for disability benefits, depending on how long you have worked and paid Social Security taxes. Eligible disabilities can be physical, mental, or emotional, depending on the circumstances. Getting approved for disability benefits can make a huge difference to your life, your mental health, and your family's well-being. Even when you know that you deserve disability benefits, there are situations where your application could be denied due to an error or a technicality.
