The practice of Social Security Law consists of two major catagories.
One is the rules governing benefits for retirees, their spouses
and dependants. The second is the eititlement of disabled workers
under Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental
Social Security Income (SSI). SSDI has no restrictions on other
sources of unearned income. SSI is "means tested" which
has rules about income of all sorts and asset value.

The Social Secuirty Administration does not follow its own rules
and does not follow the law willingly. Appeal from a negative decision
can go through four levels of appeal before a court of law looks at
what has been done. Appeal from a negative decision is a requirement
to receive a fair decision. Having an attorney to represent you after
one denial will improve your chances of success. The fee is usually
contingent on success and limited to 25% of the back pay due the successful
claimant.
