Social Security Disability Insurance, or SSDI, is a benefit that helps provide an income to those who suffer from disabilities. It's not always easy for people to obtain these benefits, as the Social Security Administration (SSA) wants to make sure that only those who qualify actually receive them. Sometimes, that means that people who genuinely need these benefits do not get them.

Spinal injuries, broken bones, head injuries and even soft tissue injuries could keep you from safely completing the tasks involved with your job.
