Not sure where to start?

Many folks like yourself have disabling conditions and don't know where to start, or what to do.  As with most governmental organizations, Social Security requires that you fill out some paperwork.  Thankfully, they have automated this process a bit, and you can do most of the paperwork online!


Here's what you'll need, direct from the SSA:

DISABILITY APPLICATION

• Military Service discharge information (Form DD 214) for all periods of active duty.
• W-2 Form (or your IRS 1040 and Schedules C and SE if self-employed) from last year.
• Social Security Number(s) for your spouse and minor children.
• Checking or savings account number and bank routing number, if you want Direct Deposit for your benefit checks.

DISABILITY REPORT

• Name, address and phone number of someone we can contact who knows about your medical conditions and can help with your claim.
• Names, addresses, phone numbers, patient ID numbers, and dates of treatment for all doctors, hospitals, and clinics.
  
  Note: You may want to refer to any Medical Records you have.
• Names of medicines you are taking and who prescribed them.
  
  Note: You may want to have your medicine bottles available.
• Names and dates of medical tests you have had and who sent you for them.
