Not sure where to start
Maria is 52 and has worked as a cashier for years. Back pain and numb legs now make it hard for her to stand through a shift. She has never applied for disability and does not know if she can qualify.
How it works: Social Security looks at how a medical condition limits your ability to work. A diagnosis by itself does not decide a claim. Your records and work history matter.
What matters: Maria writes down her doctors, her medicines, and what she can no longer do at work.
Next step: She can read the resource pages below, then call the office for a free case evaluation to ask questions before she applies.
