Yes you can get Incapaicity benefit for a year and then go on ato claim disability allowance.  You need to get certifictes from your GP for the first 6 months, then a MED 4 form and eventually you'll go onto disability without the certs xx

No. Workmen compensation claim paid amount wont get affected if the person gets disability. Only when the person is found not eligible for getting compensation, then only he has to repay. If the person is not repaying, then the insurance company will sue against him

Yes...if you are wanting to know about disability benefits.  If your Psych doctor qualifies you as not being able to work and you hire a lawyer to work your way through the S.S. disability system you could qualify for disability or S.I.  It is covered under the Americans with Disabities Act.  I know I am receiving beneifts for this reason.\n\nIf you are  bi-polar then you  understand why you would be able to collect disablity or SSI

The amount is dependent on few things,did you work? How old are you? Whether you receive it or not,depends on the severity of the disability or whether you are a child of a disabled parent (guardian)?

I believe 1 year. The law has changed! You have to be disabled 6 months before you are eligible.

you need to talk to your doctor, if he has documented you disabilities it's you doctors reports that persuades SSI your need for benefits.  By all means file, and put your doctors name as physician, as it was explained to me the Doctor's report is a deciding factor, SSI will send you to a doctor of their choice, for a second opinion,  As it was explained to me you are not expected to take a job of night clerk or anything.  If you are disabled where you cannot do the work you have been trained to do you are disabled.  I wasn't expecting to get disability, but my income had decreased due to working at a lower level, but could not continue and my income reflected the lower level, so got disability within a month.  Health insurance was a problem had to wait to get on medicare,

in the uk you are covered by the "Disability Discrimination Act.I dont know about the states.But the date on the paper would cover you.seek legal advice as can't give full advice as only got snippets of your story.But as long as your employer was aware of the facts, he/she should be reasonable.

Nope.  When you file for disability your doctor submits his records and test results only.  They don't care what his opinion is, the insurance company and/or Social Security has their own doctors who review the evidence and come to their own conclusion based on the parameters of the program your applying for.

If you did not have it prior to enlistment in the service and it began while in the service, you can claim it as a disability.  But it will only be 10% or so, unless it is so high that you would explode if you moved,and that is hardly worth it.  They will treat you with BP medications and, for the most part, that will work sufficiently.\n\nIf you are trying to get out of the service with it, good luck.

You may be protected under the "Americans with Disabilities Act". It does depend on what your disability is, however. Contact a lawyer that specializes in employment law. If moeny is tight, send a letter to the ACLU.

It depends if you are waiting on an answer from the Disability Determination Services arm of Social Security or from a private company determining disability for short or long term disability for employment. \n\nThey might also be gathering new information to research. If you have any new medical claims, be sure to make copies and send them.

short term and long term disability through your employer are totally separate from social security . But yes you can apply ,and should because it is a time consuming process . It won't start paying until all of their requirements are met

I did.  After 20 years on social security disability, I went to work I kept getting my disability check for a year after I started work. That gives you a double income, but be careful not to get too used to the extra cash because it does end after that first year.  It also depends on how much you make per month.  You can earn a little over $800 a month and never lose your disability benefits.  After about 7 years I lost my Medicare coverage, but my job had benefits so that wasn't a problem.  The different things that apply to working with a disability can be very confusing, and if you call the SSA 800 number you will probably get even more confused because the people working the phones really don't have accurate answers every time you call.\nMy job was managing a center for independence for people with disabilities so I do have a lot of experience at this.\n\nThe down side is that because of budget cuts in California I lost my job two months ago.  Now I am unemployed and on state disability.  Back to square 1!

It totally depends on the policy.\nYou'll have to read it to see if the LTD policy will still pay if the person is awarded Social Security disability benefits.\n\nIn some cases, you'll be able to draw on both up to the policy limits of the insurance policy.\n\nBut there may be some LTD policies that reduce your benefits if you also collect SS disability.

It all depends on your actual case.  Nature and severity of the disability, how and when it occurred, current income/previous income, ability to work, long term care requirements, medical need family etc etc.  Each case is assessed individually according to the specific needs and situation of the person concerned.  If you're looking for state benefits then just apply but if it's a legal compensation thing then you have to go over all this with your legal representative.

There are probably no benefits from the Army unless he was given a disability retirement.\n\nYou may have various VA benefits, based on the classification of his discharge, reason for discharge, and length of service.  Contact the nearest VA office for information, or go here:  http://www.va.gov/

As usual with legal-related questions on Yahoo! Answers, far too little information exists to answer the question adequately.  Are you disabled?  And you're a student in Merced County, California?  Regardless, the information regarding your situation is far too abstract and ambiguous to provide a concrete answer.  I've included a link to BEST put out by the Social Security Administration.  BEST is the Benefit Eligibility Screening Tool, which does not compute the total sum of benefits you're eligible for, but simply determine which category of benefits are right for you, if you're eligible.  This should be the first step toward determining the total eligible.  The SSA would be able to provide more details for you in your specific situation, since amounts may vary wildly depending on personal facts and details.
