What Changes For Me Over 50?
Your age makes a difference in a major question Social Security asks to decide if you get benefits: Can you adjust to a new line of work?
When you’re under 50, the Social Security Administration (SSA) is more likely to say you could move to a different kind of job – and therefore, you don’t need disability benefits.
When you’re over 50, the SSA considers it harder for you to switch jobs. And it gets easier for you to win benefits.
Bothwell Hamill & Sutton, PLLC, helps people apply and appeal to get disability benefits in Yakima, Kennewick, Sunnyside, Spokane, Richland, Ellensburg, Wenatchee, Walla Walla and across Central Washington.
You PAY NO ATTORNEY FEE until you win. And we don’t charge anything for you to talk to us about your case.
Where Am I On Social Security’s Age Scale?
Social Security puts you in these brackets:
- Younger person, 18-49: To win disability benefits, you must prove you cannot perform any job your education and background qualify you for, not just that you can’t perform your last job.
- Closely approaching advanced age, 50-54: This age, Social Security says, “significantly affects a person’s ability to adjust to other work.” You no longer have to prove that different kinds of work would be impossible.
- Person of advanced age, 55 and over: At this age, the SSA disability rules get even more lenient when it comes to deciding whether you can adjust to a new job.
No matter your age, when health problems push you out of work and threaten your ability to support yourself, call Bothwell Hamill & Sutton, PLLC. We’re not just advocates for those seeking disability benefits. We’re dedicated legal professionals who have experience in Social Security law.
