How do I get social security disability benefits if I can't work for a year or more?

Social security disability benefits may be available to you as a result of your injuries and reconstructive surgery, provided the Social Security Administration (SSA) believes you are sufficiently disabled. To make that determination, the SSA will look at how many of your daily life activities your disability interferes with and at how severe your disability is. SSA disability benefits, however, are for long term disability only and generally SSA will not pay long term disability benefits unless you have an illness or injury that is expected to last for one year or longer and/or result in death. If your surgery is going to take around a year, it is questionable whether SSA would determine that you were entitled to benefits. You should contact an experienced social security disability attorney as soon as possible and he can help you to determine your eligibility for filing for SSA benefits and guide you through the process of filing your application.
