APPLICANT MENTIONS ANOTHER DISABILITY PROGRAM
Definitions of disability are not the same in all government and private disability
programs. Government agencies must follow the particular laws which apply to their
disability programs. Therefore, a finding by a private organization or another government
agency that a person is disabled would not necessarily mean that the person is disabled
as defined in the Social Security Act.

If we find you are still disabled, your benefits will continue. But, if our review
shows you are no longer disabled, your benefits will be stopped.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF PEOPLE RECEIVING DISABILITY BENEFITS

STATUTORY BLINDNESS — DIB ALLOWANCE UNDER 1972 AMENDMENTS — FIRST MONTH OF ENTITLEMENT
RESTRICTED TO 1/73
Under the law, in effect before 1972, disability benefits were payable only if a disabled
individual was fully insured and had 20 Social Security credits in the 40-quarter
(10-year) period ending in or after a quarter in which he was disabled. Although you
meet the disability requirement and are fully insured, your Social Security record
shows that you have only 1 credits in the 40-quarter period ending 2, the last day of the calendar quarter in which you became disabled. Thus, you do
not meet the earnings requirement in effect before the 1972 amendments.
The 1972 amendments changed the earnings requirement a statutorily blind person must
meet to be entitled to disability benefits. It has been determined that you meet the
new requirement. You are entitled to disability insurance benefits beginning with
the month shown above. This is the earliest date benefits can be paid under the 1972
amendments to the Social Security Act.

DIB-RATE INCREASE — TWO RATES PAYABLE
As a result of a change in the law, you are entitled to disability benefits in two
different amounts beginning at two different times. Under the previous law, you were

and you are entitled to a larger amount.

DIB — RATE INCREASE — CHANGE IN DISABILITY PERIOD
Your monthly disability insurance benefit has been increased to the amount shown above.
The first payment will include the difference due for back benefits from the date
of entitlement shown above. This increase is paid because of a recent change in the

of disability for you than was possible when you filed your application.

We have determined that you are not entitled to 1 because you are not following the treatment prescribed for you. A person who is unable
to do substantial gainful work may qualify for 2, but not if he/she refuses to follow prescribed treatment that could restore his/her
ability to work.

CHILDHOOD DISABILITY CLAIM — DENIAL — IMPAIRMENT IS SEVERE BUT CLAIMANT FAILS TO FOLLOW
PRESCRIBED TREATMENT
We have determined that you are not entitled to childhood disability benefits. The
evidence shows that you are unable to perform substantial gainful work due to your
condition, but that you are not following the treatment which has been prescribed
for you. Therefore, childhood disability benefits may not be paid to you.
Childhood disability insurance benefits may be paid to a person age 18 or older if
the person is unable to perform any substantial gainful work due to a medically determinable
impairment which began before age 22.
Despite prescribed treatment, the condition must have lasted or be expected to last,
for a continuous period of at least 12 months. However, if a person refuses to follow
prescribed treatment that could restore the individual's ability to work, the person
may not become entitled to childhood disability benefits.
If you should decide to follow the prescribed treatment, or if you have more information
showing why you should not, please get in touch with any Social Security office.

FREEZE CESSATION — MEDICAL IMPROVEMENT (W/E RECEIVING REDUCED RIB)
The law provides that an individual's disability freeze shall end if his condition
improves so that the person becomes able to do substantial gainful work. The law also
provides that an individual's freeze period will continue for the month the disability
ends and the following two months. The medical evidence in your case shows that your
condition has improved to the extent that you became able to do substantial gainful
work in 1. Accordingly, the last month of your disability freeze is 2. This decision is based on all the evidence in your file, including any additional
evidence you may have submitted.

FREEZE OR DIB CONTINUANCE (AFTER FULL RETIREMENT AGE)

until you reached full retirement age.

DWB CESSATION — MEDICAL IMPROVEMENT
You have been receiving benefits under a special provision of the Social Security
Act which provides for the payment of benefits to disabled widows and widowers under
age 60. To qualify for such benefits an individual must have a condition so severe
as to ordinarily prevent her/him from working. Medical conditions which meet this
requirement are described in the Social Security Regulations; disability benefits
end when this requirement is not met. The law continues benefits, however, for 2 months
after the month in which the person's condition does not meet the disability requirement
of the law. The medical evidence in your case shows that your condition does not meet
the disability requirement of the law in 1. Accordingly, the last disabled 2 benefit check to which you are entitled is for the month of 3.
If your condition worsens you should contact your Social Security office about filing
a new application.

However, you may be entitled to Medicare coverage at age 65, whether or not you are

(Disability Not Due to Statutory Blindness)
To be considered disabled for Social Security purposes a person must be unable to
engage in any substantial gainful activity due to a medical condition which has lasted
or can be expected to last for a continuous period of at least 12 months. His/Her
impairment must be so severe as to prevent him /her from engaging not only in his/her
usual occupation but also in any other kind of substantial gainful work, considering
his/her age, education and work experience. This inability to work must exist at a
time when the earnings requirement is met.
A person whose disability began at age 31 or later needs to meet two provisions of
the earnings requirement. First, he/she needs credit for 20 calendar quarters (5 years)
of work during a 40-quarter period (10 years) ending in or after a quarter in which
he/she is disabled. And second, he/she needs credit for one calendar quarter to work
for each year after 1950 (or after reaching age 21, if that is later) up to the year
his/her disability began. In the second instance, the credits may have been earned
at any time.

CDB - EXPLANATION OF DISABILITY REQUIREMENT
To be considered disabled for Social Security purposes, a claimant for childhood disability
benefits must be unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity due to a medical
condition which has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of at
least 12 months. This impairment must be so severe as to prevent him/her from engaging
in substantial gainful work, considering his/her education, and previous training.
Before the 1972 amendments to the Social Security Act, a claimant for childhood disability
benefits had to have a disability which began before he/ she was age 18. The 1972
amendments changed this requirement so that a person may qualify if his/her disability
began before age 22. The earliest date a person can be entitled under the 1972 law
is January 1973.
|
522.1.
|
CDB - DISABILITY MUST START BEFORE AGE 22
A child's disability, as defined by law, must start before age 22. Any medical condition
that may have become disabling after attainment of age 22 cannot serve as the basis
for qualifying under the disability provisions of the law.
|
522.2.
|
CDB - EXPLANATION OF CLAIMANT'S RIGHTS AFTER CESSATION
A person whose entitlement to childhood disability benefits has ended may again become
eligible for them if his/her physical or mental condition again becomes disabling
within 7 years after his/he prior entitlement to childhood disability benefits was
terminated. If you are again prevented by your condition from doing any kind of substantial
gainful work, contact any Social Security office about filing another disability application.

The law provides that an individual's disability freeze period shall end if the person

DIB CESSATION — WORK ACTIVITY — TRIAL WORK PERIOD
To be considered disabled for Social Security purposes, a person's impairment must
be so severe as to prevent him/her from engaging not only in his/her usual occupation
but also in any other kind of substantial gainful work, considering his/her age, education
and work experience. Disability benefits end when a person is no longer disabled within
the meaning of the law. If a person works while still under a disability, his/her
benefit payments are continued during 9 months of work. (These months need not be
consecutive, and any work done in a month is counted as a month of work.) Then if
it is determined after the 9 months that he/she has demonstrated his/her ability to
do substantial gainful work and therefore is no longer disabled, his/her benefits
are paid for 3 more months.

To be considered disabled for Social Security purposes, a person's impairment must

and work experience. A disability freeze ends when a person is no longer disabled
within the meaning of the law. If a person with a disability freeze returns to work
and it is determined that the work is substantial gainful activity, the freeze will
be terminated. The law continues the freeze, however, for the month the disability
ends and the following two months.

DIB CESSATION — WORK ACTIVITY — NO WAITING PERIOD SERVED
To be considered disabled for Social Security purposes, a person's impairment must
be so severe as to prevent him/her from engaging not only in his/her usual occupation
but also in any other kind of substantial gainful work, considering his/her age, education
and work experience. The law provides that a person who has a severe impairment is
allowed a trial work period in which he/she may work in 9 months before a decision
is made as to whether his/her benefits should be continued. However, the trial work
period does not apply when a person who had a prior period of disability again becomes
entitled to disability benefits without serving a waiting period. His /Her disability
ends when he/she returns to substantial gainful work. However, benefits will be paid
for the month disability ends and two additional months.

CDB CESSATION — WORK ACTIVITY TWP PREVIOUSLY USED
To be considered disabled for Social Security purposes, a childhood disability beneficiary's
impairment must be so severe as to prevent him/her from engaging in any substantial
gainful activity, considering his/her previous training and education. Disability
benefits end when a person is no longer disabled within the meaning of the law. If
a childhood disability beneficiary works, his/her benefit payments are continued during
9 months of work. (These months need not be consecutive, and any work done in a month
is counted as a month of work.) If at the end of 9 months of work he/she still is
not able to engage in substantial gainful activity, his/her benefits will be continued.
Should he/she later perform work which is substantial gainful activity, he/she will
no longer be considered disabled and his/her disability benefits will be paid for
the month disability ends and two additional months.

to end your disability period with the month of 3 is proper under the law. The disability period already established for you beginning
4 and ending 5 may still be used to your advantage in deciding whether benefits can be paid on your

DEFINITION OF SGA
Substantial gainful work is any work generally performed for remuneration or profit,
involving the performance of significant physical or mental duties. Work may be considered
substantial even if performed part-time. In evaluating a person's work activity, consideration
is given to such factors as the nature of the job duties and the skill and experience
required to do the job, in addition to his/her earnings. The fact that his/her current
work may be different, less complex and less gainful than that which he/she did before
his/her disability began does not necessarily mean that he/she will still be considered
eligible for benefits under the terms of the law. Under the Social Security regulations
when a person's earnings average more than 1, he/she is generally considered to be performing substantial gainful work.

he/she became disabled. Second, he/she needed one Social Security credit for each
year elapsing after 1950 (or after the attainment of age 21, if that is later) up
to the year he/she became disabled. A minimum of 6 credits is needed. The credits
may have been earned at any time during the person's employment under Social Security
coverage.
Under the 1972 amendments only the second requirement must be met if disability is
due to statutory blindness.

DIB ALLOWANCE UNDER 1972 AMENDMENTS — STATUTORY BLINDNESS
Before the 1972 amendments to the Social Security Act, a disabled person needed to
meet two provisions of the earnings requirement. First, he/she needed one Social Security
credit for each year elapsing after 1950 (or after attainment of age 21, if that is
later) up to the year he/she became disabled. Second, he/she needed 20 Social Security
credits in the 40 quarter (10 year) period ending in or after the quarter in which
he/she became disabled. Although you meet the first provision, your Social Security
record shows that you have only 1 credits in the 40 quarter period ending 2, the last day of the calendar quarter in which you became disabled. Therefore, you
do not meet the earnings requirement in effect before the 1972 amendments.
Under the 1972 amendments, only the first provision of the law must be met by a person
disabled because of statutory blindness. Since you meet this requirement, you are
entitled to disability insurance benefits beginning 3. This is the earliest date benefits can be paid under the 1972 amendments to the
Social Security Act.

FAVORABLE DISABILITY DETERMINATION BY VETERANS ADMINISTRATION — GENERAL
The finding of the Veterans Administration in your case was carefully considered by
us along with the rest of the evidence in your file. The Veterans Administration has
several disability programs under different laws, and the eligibility requirements
differ in each instance. Although similar, the eligibility requirements under the
disability programs administered by the Veterans Administration and by the Social
Security Administration are not the same. Thus, a person who meets the requirements
under a Veterans Administration program does not necessarily qualify under the disability
provisions of the Social Security Act. Under our program we must determine whether
the requirements contained in the Social Security Act are met.
|
551.
|
P&T PENSION AWARD BY VETERANS ADMINISTRATION
The fact that you were found permanently and totally disabled under the Veterans Administration
program was carefully considered by us along with the rest of the evidence in your
case. A determination by the Veterans Administration that a person is permanently
and totally disabled does not necessarily mean that he will qualify under the disability
provisions of the Social Security Act. Although there are many similarities, the eligibility
requirements under the disability programs administered by the Veterans Administration
and by the Social Security Administration are not the same. Under our program we must
determine whether the requirements contained in the Social Security Act are met.
|
552.
|
DISABILITY BENEFITS BY OTHER THAN VETERANS ADMINISTRATION
The fact that you were found eligible by the (Workmen's Compensation) (Insurance Company)
to receive payment because of disability does not necessarily mean that you will be
considered disabled under the Social Security Act, since each disability program has
its own eligibility requirements. However, this matter has been carefully considered
by us along with the rest of the evidence in your case.
|
553.
|
PARTIAL ALLOWANCE IN FREEZE CASES (Will ordinarily be typed in form allowance notice)
Although you gave 1 as the date your condition began, the evidence in the file does not support this
date. We have determined from the evidence that you first became unable to engage
in any substantial gainful activity because of your condition on 2.

|
CONCLUSION OF DISABILITY BY ATTENDING PHYSICIAN
In making the decision in this case very careful consideration was given to the conclusion
of your attending physician. We value the evidence received from an applicant's attending
physician very highly and are most reluctant to reach a decision which is not consistent
with his/her judgment. However, in our program an independent determination must be
made as to whether the person meets the requirements of the law and the regulations
on the basis of the clinical findings of all examining physicians, results of laboratory
studies, treatment given and response, as well as the individuals training and experience.
Where judgments differ as to the effects of impairments, the decision must be based
on the objective evidence presented.
|
555.
|
DIB EXPLANATION OF CLAIMANT'S RIGHTS AFTER CESSATION
A person whose disability freeze and disability benefit payments have ended may become
eligible for them again if his/her physical or mental condition again prevents him/her
from doing substantial gainful work. If you are again prevented by your condition
from doing any kind of substantial gainful work, contact any Social Security office
about filing another disability application. The disability freeze period already
established for you may still be used to your advantage in deciding whether future
benefits can be paid on your Social Security record and in figuring the amount of
such benefits.

that you did not have a child in your care before you received the benefit payments
for the second month following the month in which you no longer had a child in your
care. Since you did not file the report within this period, we must withhold an additional
$1 from your benefits unless you can establish good cause for late filing. If you believe
you had good cause for not filing before 2, please let us know within 30 days. We will then notify you whether your explanation
establishes good cause. If so, no additional withholding will be required. If you
offer no explanation for late filing, however, we will assume you do not have good
cause and will withhold the additional amount. If withholding is necessary, we will
notify you and then begin recovery of the amount from any benefits payable. However,

EXPLANATION OF MEDICARE PREMIUMS AND DEDUCTIONS UNDER PUBLIC LAW (P.L.) 97-248, SECTION
278
Section 278 of P.L. 97-248 was enacted in recognition of the fact that a significant
number of Federal employees and retirees qualify for Medicare coverage either on the
basis of their own employment outside the Federal government or on that of their spouse.
However, such employees generally do so on the basis of fewer quarters of coverage
than other beneficiaries. Consequently, Congress acted on the belief that Federal
employees (and the Federal government, as their employer) should bear a more equitable
share of the cost of financing the health benefits to which many of them eventually
become entitled.
The fact that some Federal workers already qualify for Medical does not disadvantage
them with respect to non-Federal workers. Such workers do not stop paying FICA taxes
once they become eligible for Social Security benefits and/or Medicare, but continue
to pay such taxes until they stop working.
The 1.3 percent tax (which is part of the FICA tax) supports the Medicare hospital
insurance trust fund which provides free hospital insurance coverage to beneficiaries
such as yourself. The premium you pay is for medical insurance which does not have
a tax-supported base. Therefore, you are not paying double for you Medicare coverage.

ATTAINING AGE 65
We have determined that you are not entitled to Medicare coverage. A person who has
been disabled for at least 29 full calendar months before reaching age 65 may be eligible
for Medicare coverage based on disability. We find that the work which you did despite
your condition, before you reached 65, showed that you were not disabled. A medical
condition may require reducing one's hours of work or giving up one's regular line
of work; but a person may not be entitled to Medicare coverage unless the disability
prevents substantial gainful work in any job.

FEE WAIVER OR STATEMENT THAT NO FEE WILL BE CHARGED
Section 206(a) of the Social Security Act requires an attorney to obtain authorization
from the Social Security Administration before he may charge any fee for his services.
This section of the law also provides that up to 25 percent of a claimant's past-due
benefits can be withheld and used toward the payment of such fees. However, since
your attorney has advised the Social Security Administration that he will not charge
a fee for his services before the Administration no part of your past-due benefits
has been withheld for direct payment to the attorney.

WAIVER OF RIGHT TO DIRECT PAYMENT
Section 206(a) of the Social Security Act requires an attorney to obtain authorization
from the Social Security Administration before charging any fee for services. This
section of the law also provides that up to 25 percent of a claimant's past-due benefits
can be withheld and used toward the payment of such fees. However, your attorney has
requested the Social Security Administration to release all past-due benefits to you.
If your attorney desires to charge a fee, a petition for approval of the fee should
immediately be filed with the local Social Security Office. The Social Security Administration
should also be notified if no fee is to be charged.

FUTURE MONTH OF ENTITLEMENT CASE — NO PAST-DUE BENEFITS AVAILABLE
Section 206(a) of the Social Security Act requires an attorney to obtain authorization
from the Social Security Administration before charging any fee for services rendered
the claimant. This section of the law also provides that up to 25 percent of a claimant's
past-due benefits can be used toward the payment of such fees. However, no past-due
benefits are available for direct payment to the attorney since your first month of
entitlement to benefits is after the month of the favorable decision. If the attorney
has not yet done so, a petition for approval of a fee should be filed immediately
even though no benefits are available for direct payment of the fee. If no fee is
to be charged and the representative is waiving his fee, a statement to that effect,
signed and dated by your representative must be forwarded to the administration.

Section 206(a) of the Social Security Act requires a representative to obtain authorization

This section of the law also provides that up to 25 percent of a claimant's past-due

your attorney has advised the Social Security Administration that he will not charge
a fee for his services before the Administration, benefits withheld in the amount

You were previously notified that a fee in the amount of $ 1 had been authorized to your attorney, and a check in the amount of $2 was being sent to 3. Since this amount was less than the authorized amount, we are withholding $4 from the additional past-due benefits payable on this claim to satisfy the unpaid
balance of the authorized fee. If you have already paid the balance of the approved

The law requires that monthly benefits payable under Social Security to spouses, including

a pension, the Social Security benefit payable on this record to you has been reduced
