  • Clients often ask if they get "disability" and we're not sure how to answer until we know what kind of disability they are thinking about. Most of the time they are asking about applying for Social Security Disability. We'll talk about what "disability" means in Colorado Workers Compensation Cases, what it means in Social Security, and how getting Social Security can affect your Work Injury Benefits.

    Thank you for this detailed video. To the point, good examples, and more importantly organized to easily digest. Watched freaking 10 videos over 2 hours and they did not even remotely answer what I was looking for. When this video explained it almost immediately.

    Very well explained! I'm 100% P&T through VA disability compensation and I also receive $4300 a month (after the 15% attorney fee) from worker's comp pension (Also P&T). This also explains why my former employer was pushing hard for me and my attorney (I live in WA State) to file for SDI. They want to offset their loss. I do love the irony....they fought the hell out of my claim in court and lost. Now they want me to cooperate with them and play ball??? Yeah, no. I'm 54. I can wait until I reach 62 and draw social security early. The way I was mistreated by my former employer and spied on constantly, they can pound sand and pay the court ordered claim. No love lost.

    Regarding SCOTUS Chevron decision:
    Many SS experts consistently say that COLA is unfairly calculated for seniors because it is based upon the cost of living expenses for an administrative job. They say it should be based upon the cost of living expenses that seniors face, which is about 2% higher. What’s your legal opinion of the likelihood of a federal judge to change the standard from an administrative job to the typical costs of living of seniors? Would it take a class action suit or documentation of seniors living below the poverty rate, food insecurity, inability to pay utilities and rent?

I’m barely getting by with my workers compensation. I really need to know if my current lawsuit and workers compensation situation qualifies me for social security disability……

    I know a injured worker that was approved for social security disability and the state legal doctor/ qme for worker compensation injury also found it to be unable to work in open labour market permanentaly. that means the injured worker is totaly permanent disabled in worker compensation system too? qme found severe disability with walking assistive devices and multiple body parts affected.

    I’m in Delaware so I know you can’t help me but I’ve been on worker’s compensation since 2009. I do have a WC attorney who is amazing. I did apply for SSD over a year ago and am on my 2nd appeal. I can’t find a SS attorney that will take my case because it’s been so long since I’ve worked. The judge at SS stated she only wants to hear about my disability from 2009-2014. I can’t get an attorney to understand that. Do you have any suggestions to help me word my case to a SS attorney? Anything would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

    In New York State I had work related injuries that left me permanently disabled. And was fired. After my first surgery in 2018 I received payments for 6 months and then they stopped fully. Even with a deformed right quad a crushed knee and bruised spine Than I had my second surgery in Feb 2020. Still after second surgery New York State workers comp never began paying benefits. And than the following year In 2021 I had back surgery. And once again In New York state I received no benefits. Since 2019 I’ve tried to provide work market attachment. I was denied in 2020 because I never submitted my searches into board website as I was just reading them off. And than just recently I was denied 2 years of labor market attachment because even though I submitted the proper forms with jobs info on it, the state of New York denied me because they say I have no proof of application. And what really hurts is they denied in person job interviews I went on beginning in June of 2022. NYS workers compensation treats its black claimants as if were lazy and not truthful.

I got vaccine injured and was out of work without pay on FMLA from my jab injury. My job fired me because I "took too long" while out on FMLA.
