I was just award social security disability, i received a 1099k from paypal. Gambling winnings. I haven’t had an income since 2016 until i got this 1099k. Will i lose my disability?

Hi. Probably not. The only way that gambling winnings could affect your eligibility for Social Security disability (SSDI) benefits is if you're considered to be a professional gambler who's required to pay self-employment taxes on your winnings.

I am on SSI Dissability and would like to try to work but don’t want to lose it. I will turn 62 in 2023. How do I switch to social security retirement so that I can earn substantially and still have my SS? I know it will be substantially lower but I am unable to live on just the SS and hoping to be able to work and earn enough to pay my bills but don’t want to lose the disability if I try to work.

I would like to ask about SSDI. My husband is legally blind and receiving SSDI. His TWP has ended long time ago. He started working last Jan 2019 and the is below the SGA but on Sept, Oct 2020 and March 2021 he is earning more than the SGA. Will he lose his SSDI and overpay it? The SSA is asking him to provide paystubs.

My husband is on social security disability because he has stage 4 lung and brain cancer. We were planning on getting a divorce when he was working i hadnt been able to work for 7 years before he was diagnosed. I am 62 and on disability myself now he is 49 and been on disability for 2 years. I didn't leave cause i thought he would need help but he is doing good.

Have applied for Social Security Disability 2 years ago was approved. As of this date have not received any payments, got help from Attorney still no answer sent letters out no response. want can been done.

Hi,

I have Brain Injury. I'm 63 years of age. Can I get Social security Disability Benefits?

Hi,

Hi Larry
I have been receiving Social Security Disability since 1998. Are there any ways that I can increase the amount that I'm already receiving?

Don

Hi Don,

Probably not. Social Security disability (SSDI) benefit rates are based on a variable number of a person's highest years of wage-indexed earnings. The number of years used is determined by the age at which the person became disabled.

What if my Dr., who I have been seeing for years, has been misdiagnosing and prescribing me the wrong meds, making my condition worse, and me even more disabled. How will this affect my disability outcome? I have done a lot of research and I know it is based on your functional capacity to work at that point in time, which I do not have, but what if the judge thinks my condition might get better if I am no longer on that medication? Because schizophrenia is a condition that may get better but will never truly go away.

Hi,

I am 70 years old and started collecting my SS at 67 rears old. I recently have been diagnosed with moderate hearing loss and hearing aids are recommended. Is my hearing loss considered a disability and qualify for an increase in my monthly benefit?
Thank you

Hi,

I'm sorry to learn of your hearing loss.

I have filed for disability, I have been denied twice, appealed it and just recently appealed for a court hearing. Was told 18 to 24 months before getting a court date. If I think I can go back to work part time what will happen to all the time I have already invented which has been 15 months. My husband and I are financial drowning. What should i do? Wait it out? Or try going back to work for a little bit until my health gets me again
