Veterans disability lawyer and how to learn more
(Note that people who qualify for disability benefits may collect benefits while working as long as their maximum possible income is lower than a SSA determined income cap. ) I cannot work as long as before or at the same skill level, so although I still have a job, my income has dropped. Am I still eligible for social security benefits? Yes, you can file for disability benefits if you are making less than a certain amount per month, averaged over a full year. The amount changes annually, so check the official Social Security web site or booklets to find out what the current limit is. However, be aware that your earnings in your current job are not the only earnings the state agency will take into account.
