Location And Social Security Disability Benefits

 Posted on December 26, 2011 in Social Security Disability

Recently, a survey was released on the number of individuals age 15-64 receiving disability throughout the United States.  While some counties in Missouri have nearly 25% of the individuals who receive disability benefits for example, towns in Utah have less than 4%.  Unfortunately, regardless of whether you hire a Social Security disability lawyer to represent you with your claim, a lot of weight is placed on where your claim is adjudicated and by what judge.  Below is the survey.
