…about the importance of disability insurance. Mike has it through his employer, both short and long-term. The short-term pays 100% of his salary for up to 12 weeks. Long-term pays out 60% of his salary, which would be tough, but far better than getting nothing at all.
This insurance really saved our behinds when Mike was in and out of the hospital for so long. We were able to keep up with our rent, car payments, and other bills, and our credit was not destroyed.
But what if you found yourself permanently disabled? What do you do, then? If you’ve worked in the past and paid into the system, you can apply for SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance). Howver, if you go it alone when it comes to the application process, it’s very likely that you will be denied benefits. I know that this happened to my friend Kat, who has a permanent, bona-fide disability. She would love more than anything to be able to hold down a job again, but it’s just not going to happen. But she still has bills to pay, two teen sons to raise, so she has to get money somehow.
Perhaps if she knew of Allsup, her battle to be approved for the benefits she is legally entitled to would not have been as long and drawn out as it was. Allsup has an excellent success rate, something like 98%, of getting SSDI and other benefits for disabled people.
Kat finally did get approved for her SSDI benefits. But don’t let this happen to you, the constant denials, and wondering how you’re going to pay the rent and put food on the table. If you have a bona-fide disability, do yourself a favor and check out Allsup today!
