A review of social security benefits
But in this case, the answer is a simple "no. " Though some other federal and state programs offer benefits to the partially disabled, social security benefits do not. According to the SSA, an applicant either has a qualifying disability, or he or she does not. When applying for social security benefits, you will either be considered 100% disabled or not disabled, making you either approved or denied. Q: My doctors say that there is no treatment that can help me, so why do I have to keep going to doctors? A: Even if a doctor cannot treat your disability, seeing a medical professional is a very important part of having your Social Security benefits claim approved.
