How Difficult Is It To Get On SS Disability?

Written & legally reviewed by Matt Fendon Certified Specialist, Workers' Compensation Law

Disability tip of the day – It’s much more difficult to get approved for Social Security Disability if you are under age 50. It’s not impossible, but much more difficult if you are of a younger age. It all depends on the nature of your disability, your education, your work history, etc. Incidentally, if you have filed for Disability and were denied the first time, do not give up. In Arizona, there is a 30 percent chance you will be accepted on the first filing and that’s it. Let us know if you have any questions on worker’s comp.
