Veterans lawyer Where to start
If you need partial disability, you will have to apply through a state or local disability program. If SSA denies you benefits on the grounds that you are not completely disabled, this will not bar you from applying for and receiving partial disability benefits from local and state disability programs. However, even if you are deemed to be completely disabled, you can keep working while receiving disability social security benefits, provided you are sufficiently disabled that your work capacity is low. You total income will be taken into account by the state agency that handles your social security case. If your annual earnings fall under a certain amount, you will still be considered eligible for disability.
