Obtaining Social Security disability benefits for a person under the age of 50 is not impossible, but it is much more difficult then it would be for someone over 50, who is considered an older individual. For those that are younger than 50, obtaining disability benefits is dependant on their ability to prove that there is no work they are currently able to do. For somebody over 50, on the other hand, the only proof they need to provide is that they are no longer able to have the same vocation they did during the last fifteen years. Those people who do not have medical insurance of their own can visit Social Security doctors for evaluation. These Social Security doctors are not actually there to treat you, but to examine your case impartially and methodically. Because of this, having a record of treatment from independent (non Social Security) doctors is generally the best way to provide proof of your disability. Doctors that know you and know what you are going through.
If you do not have medical insurance, there are two different places you can go for help. Your local county clinic and vocational rehabilitation. County clinics exist to provide care to those without medical insurance. When you first contact these clinics you should not immediately tell them of your medical problems. Often times, when the administrative staff hears about your complicated medical problems, they will tell you that they cannot help you because they do not have proper funding for your condition(s). When they hear of the depth of your disability, they may turn your away without letting you see even one doctor. You just simply them that you do not have medical insurance and you need a primary doctor. Say nothing else. Once you see the actual doctor, then you can tell him/her about all your medical conditions. Often (though not always), once you get in to see a doctor, the county clinic will send you to any necessary specialists and agree to pay.
Your other medical care option, the Vocational Rehabilitation Program, is paid for by the state and works to train people for a vocation or career. But before they send you to work, they will look at your existing medical records from previous medical providers and they will also send you to their doctors. And if they feel it is needed, vocational programs may pay for visits to specialists and physicians, medicine, or even surgery on your behalf. When all this is finished, they will then decide whether or not they believe you can go to work. If they feel you cannot work due to your severe limitations, they will issue a decision stating so and refer you to apply for disability benefits through SS. Having this happen can be really boost your Social Security disability claim, as a government vocational program has already determined you to be unfit to work. At the same time, you have gotten medical treatment and medications for free. And, if a vocation rehabilitation program does decide that you are fit to work, they will help you find the employment you need. The records from the doctors that vocational rehabilitation sent you to can also be used as evidence in support of your claim for disability benefits.
Once again, without medical treatment, especially for younger individuals, it is almost impossible to get Social Security Disability Benefits. Because of this, if you are looking to apply for Social Security disability, it is important to start the process by seeking medical treatment for your condition immediately.
