Now is the time to file for Social Security Disability if you are not working.

Why?

Because it takes time to get to the hearing stage. Anywhere from 1 1/2 to 2 years from the time you file.

You should hire a lawyer to represent you right away also.

Why?

Because it shows Social Security you mean business.

Your lawyer is only paid if you win. Your lawyer is only paid from back benefits, never from your monthly check. The fee is also limited to 25% of the back benefits or $6,000 whichever is the lower amount.
