Can my monthly Social Security disability benefits increase if my disability has worsened or for other health problems?


Transcription
You can only be 100% disabled. You can’t be 120% disabled. Disability means the inability to hold substantial, gainful employment in the national economy due to a disability that’s going to last twelve months or more. If you meet that definition, it doesn’t matter if you’re 50% disabled, 70% disabled, or if you’re found to be disabled and now you have a second disability; you’re still going to be 100% disabled and you’re still going to collect disability. It will not go up. It will not go down either if your disability improves, if you are still unable to hold a job in the national economy.
