New York Hip Disability Lawyers
The Social Security Administration (SSA) provides financial assistance to individuals who have a qualified disability and who meet other necessary requirements. This assistance, or disability benefit, is available to any individual who has worked five out of the past 10 years and has paid into the Social Security system.
Understanding Which Hip Injuries Qualify for Social Security Disability Benefits
A hip injury, like any other musculoskeletal injury, can cause you great limitations in mobility. Additionally, it can lead to severe financial distress if you are unable to work. If this situation sounds familiar to you, then you may be eligible to receive Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits. Certain hip injuries or surgeries that may lead you to applying for benefits include:
- Broken hip
- Hip dislocation
- Amputation (hemipelvectomy or hip disarticulation)
- Hip replacement
If you have recently had hip surgery and have been fitted with a hip implant or other orthopedic device, examination for disability benefits will not occur until after you have had time to heal. You can help make the examination process move faster if you start compiling your medical records and filling out the proper forms.
