Applying for Disability Benefits

These kits provide general information about Social Security's disability programs & how decisions are made on applications for disability benefits. The Disability Starter Kit will help you get ready for your disability interview or online application. Kits are available for adults & for children under age 18.

The kits provide information about the specific documents & information that we will be requested. You will be asked for more details during your interview or when you complete the online Disability Report. The kits also provide general information about the disability programs & the decision-making process that can help take some of the mystery out of applying for disability benefits.

Each Disability Kit contains a: Fact sheet that answers questions most people ask, & a Worksheet to help you gather and organize the information you will need. This information has been updated, & can be found at: http://www.disabilityinfo.gov/digov-public/public/DisplayPage.do?parentFolderId=170 .
