Veterans disability lawyer, a review of the basics
When a person is disabled and their eligibility is decided they can begin receiving monthly payments from the social security office. An Administrative Law judge or a Social Security Administrator are the ones who approve or disapprove social security claims. After the claim is approved the claimant must wait 5 months before payments begin. Children of people who are eligible for social security benefits can receive benefits also. In certain cases the spouse of someone receiving social security disability benefits can also receive benefits.
