By Loretta Crosby, Ex Social Security Disability Examiner and Editor of Social-Security-Disability-ESP.com

Getting Social Security Disability Benefits: Your 9 Step Individual Action Plan is written by an Ex-Disability Claims Examiner. It shows you how to navigate the SSA system effectively and efficiently by allowing you to provide your examiner with the exact information needed to receive the most favorable decision possible on your claim.

You will discover secrets about the disability determination process that only an insider can give you.

Here's what one customer had to say:

"I am a volunteer with the National Multiple Sclerosis Society who helps people with MS apply for SSDI [Social Security Disability Insurance]. I have been doing so since 1997 and done much research on my own, but the 9 Step book has filled in some major gaps in my knowledge. Until now, I have never had access to any information from 'the inside.' I had only guesses about procedures based on experience with clients. This resource is a treasure!" -- From: R Pursley

With your 9 Steps to Getting Social Security Disability Individual Action Plan, you can:

* Go through the disability determination process prepared for anything.
* Describe your disability using the same words and terms your disability examiner and medical consultants use. You will learn how to "prove" your disability.
* Know whether you have a realistic chance of winning your claim.
* Get a quicker decision by knowing when to check on your claim at just the right time.
* Understand the clues found in your approval (or denial) letter that will help you determine your next best course of action.
* Know who to turn to for help in appealing and winning your claim if you are denied.


If you want to be clear about what will or will not help you when you apply for disability as seen from the eyes of an ex disability claims examiner, then this Guide will be of tremendous assistance to you.

The 9 Step guide teaches you how to present your case to the disability examiner so that he or she fully and clearly understands how your medical and/or psychological conditions limit your ability to "function" on a job, any job. And the Plan will show you what you need to do to keep the ball rolling on your claim, ensuring that you get an accurate decision in the least amount of time.

Specifically, you learn:

* How to prepare yourself mentally as you enter the disability determination process.
* The exact terms to use when you describe the "functional limitations" that you are experiencing as a result of your impairment.
* The right time to check the status of your application so your claim stays at the top of the disability examiner's stack of claims.
* How to find out if you qualify for immediate, expedited disability benefits which are payable for up to six months while your claim is being processed?
* How to assist in getting medical records -- which are the heart of your claim-- to your examiner if there is a lag with your doctors or specialist providers.
* What vocational functions are evaluated in the assessment of your claim, and you are given a sample description of how to describe your work limitations.
* Some specific medical diagnosis that SSA considers non-severe. For instance, does being blind in one eye qualify, or being deaf in one ear?
* If you should try to work while awaiting a decision on your claim? The answer in Step 7 of the Guide is probably not the one that you will ever hear from your claims examiner.
* And, did you know that there are clues in your "Notice of Decision" letter that SSA sends to you after your claim is decided. These clues can help you determine how to proceed whether you are approved for benefits or denied.
