How to Qualify for Disability Benefits in Marietta
The Social Security Administration (SSA) uses strict rules to decide who qualifies for disability benefits. These are the basics facts you need to show:
- You have a serious medical condition that prevents you from working full time.
- The condition will last at least 12 months (or eventually be fatal)
- You can’t switch to another type of work given your limitations
In Marietta, Atlanta and all over Georgia, these ingredients strengthen your case:
- Treatment records from Wellstar Kennestone or other local clinics
- Consistent medical follow-up
- Statements from friends, employers, or doctors describing your day-to-day challenges
If your application is denied—which is common—don’t panic. You have the right to appeal. An appeal is often your best opportunity to win benefits. We’ll walk you through the process.
You can start by talking to our Marietta disability attorneys to better understand if you have a strong case for disability benefits and what you will need to make a claim.
