Over 50 and Disabled?

Disabled people over the age of 50 have a higher success rate in obtaining Social Security Disability Claims. In fact, the Society of Actuaries has done a study that shows that while more than 44.1 percent of people aged 24 recover from their disability, only 11.8 percent of people aged 55 recover.

For individuals over the age of 50, it is sometimes more difficult to adapt to a new job situation and applicants may simply not have the necessary skills. This is especially true when a physical laborer becomes limited to sedentary work, but does not have the requisite skill-set for an office job. If you are over the age of 55 and cannot perform anything other than light work and have no transferable skills, you are more likely to obtain a favorable benefits resolution.
