Attorneys for social security disability, the basic primer
Your file will be evaluated regularly in order to verify the status of your injury. You do not, however, need to reapply for disability benefits, if the status of your injury and employment has not changed. Q: When will social security benefits begin, after an individual has received approval for disability? A: According to law, an individual cannot receive social security benefits until he has been injured and unable to work for at least five months. Payments will usually begin the sixth month. If you are still awaiting initial approval, it is difficult to predict when you will receive notice of a decision.
