Social Security does not grant short term benefits, so in order to qualify, a disability must be expected to last for one year or eventually result in death. To make sure that a claimant’s application is valid, the SSA requires documentary proofs such as medical and employment records, birth/baptismal certificate, laboratory results, latest tax certificate and other documents that will add merits to the claim. It is also vital to complete all these documents to avoid denial upon initial application.

I have a college degree in Secretarial Business. Due to the economy especially in this area, there are no positions available in my field. The only ads in the want ads are for truck drivers. I have no experience in this area. I am limited in what I can do concerning a job. I suffer from depression, arthritis in my legs and knees and cannot stand for any length of time. I have migraines and severe panic disorder. I have no funds to re-educate myself in any other field. My grades put me at 3.9 GPA. I would love to put my skills to work, but it isn't possible at this time. No jobs available and I am without insurance and my husband's SS check does not cover our daily expenses. I am at a loss what to do. I have applied for Social Security disabily insurance and been denied. My last resort is to contact a lawyer who specializes in this field. I have no other choice. My husband is almost 70 and if I lost him, I would lose our home and everything in it. I have four children and 10 grandchildren. We are struggling to pay our utilities and house payment. Please advise and help us or direct us to someone who can... Sincerely, Penny L. Zink I am a 59 year old female resident of Frankfort, IN. I have a college degree in Secretarial Business.
