Social Security Disability Guide:

Eligibility Standards

A Social Security Disability claimant must establish 3 things before s/he can receive Social Security Disability compensation. All three of these things must be established. Any one of these things alone will not be enough.

The three things which must be established for a claimant to receive Social Security Disability are:

1. that the claimant is disabled;
   
   
2. the claimant's disability meets the durational requirement; and
   
   
3. the claimant has disability insured status.

For a discussion of any of the three requirements, click on the above link for that requirement.
