SSDI is an absolute lifeline for many. The difficulty when navigating the application process for many older recipients has reached a critical point.
As Frank Bisignano assumes leadership as the new head of the SSA, advocates are urging the SSA to prioritize accessibility and support
for its aging and disabled beneficiaries.
Many older SSDI applicants cannot conduct financial business except face to face or by phone according to the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare. They need to be helped through the process.
Navigating the SSDI application process has always been daunting and now maybe something will be done about it.
Above anything else, if you are planning on applying for SSDI, securing an accredited, experienced attorney is the best course of action to ensure the maximum chance of a successful outcome.
