I am trying how to figure out filing and receiving disability benefits from the government because I was forced to quit work due to my disease. I do have an income from my previous job for the next five years. I sold my insurance agency, but the payments will end in 2029.
I followed the same steps set out by the fiirst two respondents, and had no issues in securing my disability insurance.
Make sure you have very clear documentation from your doctor that makes it easy for the judge to see the that your symptoms have progressively getting worse so that the quality of your work is compromised and you are not able to fully recover to baseline without great difficulty and causing disruption to other parts in your life outside of work. Judges in Maryland look at the history of your disease, other medical issue along with the requirements for your individual job and training/ education and determine your ability to be gainfully employed and for how long.
I had a lawyer that was not paid unless I was awarded full disability and he was paid with the money I would have collected from the date I had used as the first day of disability and it was very worth every penny it very long process in Maryland and takes two years and possibly a few appeals. I was lucky to have an amazing lawyer and was awarded full disability within the first half hour of the hearing and my lawyer did every single thing that was needed it helped to make sure any other medical issues are noted as well because stress is a big factor in the speed and severity of Parkinson disease progression good luck to you it’s a double edged sword being disabled at a young age stay healthy take care
