Qualifications for SSDI

To qualify for SSDI, you will have to meet several criteria. First, you must earn enough work credits from your years of service. Secondly, you must have a condition that will last at least 12 months, and the condition must be present in the SSI’s list of acceptable conditions. Furthermore, you must be incapacitated enough to whereas you cannot perform gainful employment. You may receive approval if you meet all those guidelines.
