From the stupid things that people tell themselves department: “I can’t afford to file for Social Security Disability. I HAVE to get back to work.” If you’re thinking this, here are some questions you need to ask yourself:

  • Why are you out of work now? Were you just hit by a fit of laziness?
  • Are you really getting better or are you just fooling yourself?
  • In this world, do things happen because you really need them to happen?
  • If you can’t work now, what makes you think you’re going to be able to work anytime soon?
  • If you can’t afford to file a claim for Social Security disability, how are you going to afford to live without it if you can’t get back to work?
  • What makes you think that filing a claim for Social Security disability benefits will keep you from going back to work if you start feeling better? It doesn’t. As long as you don’t withhold information about the work from Social Security, you’re in no trouble if you go back to work. Depending upon how much work you do and how long you do it the work may not prevent you from getting Social Security disability benefits.
