Many odd thoughts on social security benefits
As of the year 2008, the highest benefit for the blind was $1,570 monthly. You may want to speak to a social security lawyer to understand how this affects you. Q: Do I need to wait a year after the start of my disability to apply for benefits? A: Here's the simple answer: no, you don't. Your social security lawyer will define an eligible disability as one that is either fatal, or has lasted or will last one year. You may take this to mean that you have to wait until you have been disabled a year to apply; but you should not.
