Q. My arthritis is crippling me but I still work. How do I apply for SSDI?

March 31, 2011

A: I don't know what your source of income is; but if you are an employee, you cannot keep working and have a pending claim at the same time; unless you earn under $1000/month. Alternatively, you could stop work, file your claim and then return to work at your regular level; as long as it is for less than 3 months and you stop again due to your medical problems. But you can't keep working full time while you file a claim for SSDI.
