1. Your website http://www.thedisabilitydigest.com/ It has nearly 200,000 people who have maximized their disability benefits or income opportunities. Can you tell my listeners what exactly is the disability digest?
2. How are you able to do that for free?
3. If you're a senior, and you've got heart disease, diabetes, cancer or mental health disorders, but you are disabled, how do you actually become eligible to receive Social Security Disability?
4. If you live to 100, but you began receiving disability before you would have qualified for retirement, do they penalize you for that?
6. So if somebody is disabled, and you know, they qualify for benefits, and they applied to the Social Security Administration, do they automatically get the benefits? what is required for them to do to at least get started? And what do they have to prove to qualify?
7. What if someone has medical documentation, are there certain factors that they look at when determining whether or not a person is going to get the benefits?
8. Do most seniors beginning in the early 50s who have a legitimate disability get approved initially?
9. If you have to appeal, you may have to wait a couple of years until your legitimate case is actually approved and they start getting benefits?
10. What about the person who is diagnosed with stage four cancer, is that person most likely going to get approved or there's some process that expedites their approval because of this catastrophic problem?
11. Do most seniors eventually get approved?
12. If somebody has been approved, and they are getting benefits, can they still work part-time and get their benefits?
13. So if a senior is listening right now, and they're disabled, how do they apply for social security?
14. If someone's gone to your website, applies, and is still denied, and they have to appeal before and go before an administrative law judge. Could they also get an attorney through the disability digest?
15. What are the top one or two tips that a senior should take away from this podcast?
"The most common thing that I see that is problematic in the system is people wait too long before they apply. And these benefits do expire. If you take a look at somebody in their early 50s and they get injured when they're 50, for example, but they choose not to address anything until they're 56. So those benefits have likely expired." — Brian Therrien
