The Value of Your SSDI Benefits

If you plan to apply for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits your monthly payment may be determined by your average lifetime earnings. If you have been working in the United States, your Social Security Statement will display your lifetime earnings, as well as an estimate of your disability benefits.

If you do not have your latest Social Security Statement, and you would like to get an estimate of your disability benefits, you can request your estimate online at the Social Security Administration's website. You can also request an estimate of your benefits by calling the Social Security Administration.

When determining your SSDI benefits, the Social Security Administration will request information about your disability. This will include the names, addresses and phone numbers of the medical professionals that have assisted you. The Social Security Administration will also require information about: 

• your employment history;
• doctor's notes and observations;
• the names of any medicine that you take or treatments that you get on a regular basis; and
• your laboratory test results. 

SSDI benefits are intended only for those who cannot work because of a serious and permanent disability. If your claim for benefits is denied and you are concerned about how you will make ends meet, an Indianapolis Social Security Disability lawyer may be able to look at your case and determine whether you have the grounds to appeal the decision.
