"The most significant addition in many years to our Continuing Education curriculum for re-certification of RNs, rehabilitation professionals and counselors." -- Carl Dye, President,American Schools Association American Schools Association Carl Dye, President, American Schools Association


Product Description

Understand -- and benefit from -- the Social Security disability system

Nolo's Guide to Social Security Disability is an essential book for anyone dealing with a long-term or permanent disability. Written both for first-time applicants and those who already receive Social Security disability, the book demystifies the program in plain English, thoroughly explaining:

-what Social Security disability is
-what benefits are available to disabled children
-how to prove a disability
-how age, education and work experience affect benefits
-whether or not one can work while receiving benefits
-how to appeal a denial of benefits
-how to respond to a Continuing Disability Review
-and much more

Plus: The included CD-ROM provides in-depth medical listings to help you determine what you qualify for. It covers breathing disabilities, heart disease, mental disorders, speech impairments, cancer, immune system disorders -- and much more.

The 3rd edition is completely updated with the latest rules, information and medical listings. User-friendly appendices translate bureaucratic terms, provide medical-vocational rules, and list Social Security benefit publications.

5.0 out of 5 stars Get and keep your ssdi, July 15, 2002
By Calaveras-cutie "lindacown2" (Murphys, Ca United States) - See all my reviews
Bought this book as part of prep for application for ssdi. (also bought how to get ssi and ssdi by mike davis and dis workbook for ss applicants by doug. smith). Each book explained a diff part of the ssdi process. This book told what each med diagnosis needed to establish to qualify for perm. disability. And it goes on to explain how to keep your ssdi once you get your award. I did win my case the first try using the info in the 3 books. Having them made all the diff in the world in understanding the ssdi process. Best $[money]. (all 3 books) I ever spent...

5.0 out of 5 stars One of three best Social Security disability books, March 26, 2002
As a lawyer I recommend three books to individuals who ask for help in getting their Social Security disability benefits. First is our Disability Workbook for Social Security Applicants. Everyone tells me that this book greatly simplifies getting disability benefits. I can testify that interviewing a client is much easier when he or she has used the Disability Workbook. Second, the book How to Get SSI and Social Security Disability, by Mike Davis, is insightful and easy to read. Mr. Davis is a former disability examiner. His clear explanations of common bureaucratic problems make his book one of my favorites. Finally, I use Dr. David Morton's Nolo's Guide to Social Security Disability. Dr. Morton is a former disability determination services staff physician who describes Social Security medical decision making better than anyone else I know. Every doctor who communicates with Social Security about patients should have Dr, Morton's book on the shelf - and every disability lawyer. I give all three books the highest rating.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good not Great, July 6, 2006
I would have given this book a five star rating, but it did not include two important SSA forms. The forms are sent to a claimant when his/her file is sent to the state office for development. These two forms are SSA-3373-BK (Function Report- Adult) and SSA-3380-BK (Function Report-Adult-Third Party). The two forms have to do with your Activities of Daily living, and when received have a 10 day return time. The forms can be found on the net, but you have to know they exist.
