No. The Social Security Administration only pays disability benefits if they determine you have a qualifying condition, are completely disabled, and are expected to remain disabled for at least one year. If you are capable of working or engaging in "substantial gainful activity" (SGA) regardless of whether you receive income for your efforts, you will not be approved for SSDI benefits.
In addition, you -- or, under certain circumstances, a parent or spouse -- have to have made sufficient quarterly contributions to the Social Security fund before you become eligible to Social Security benefits.
Some government programs, such as those for disabled military veterans, may pay a monthly stipend if you are partially disabled or have a non-disabling condition that has been linked to your military service (for example, Vietnam Veterans who have Diabetes and were potentially exposed to Agent Orange automatically qualify for partial disability).
No, to receive social security disability you must be considered disabled under the social security's listing of impairments.
Collecting Social Security would not interfere with your compensation disability
can you collect social security disability due to 2 knee repalcements
People can collect disability for as long as they are considered disabled. If someone is receiving and afraid of losing benefits they should speak with their local SSI about it.
Short term disability will pay benefits for a defined period of time, provided you are unable to work due to medical reasons.Social Security Disability will cover you if you are permanently disabled. You can collect both. Your private coverage may offset the SSD benefit.
Some disability insurance policies will cover drug & alcohol as any other disability, but usually limit the benefits to maximum 24 month. If you had a disability insurance prior to being disabled from work due to alcoholism, and the policy did not specifically exclude drug & alcohol disabilities, you may be entitled to disability benefits.
Yes you can. However if your collecting disability benefits from a LTD then they will most likely kick you off once you start receiving your SSDI benefits. However, if you trying to get on SSI, which is income based, you wont be able to collect both.
If you're currently disabled and unable to work, you should apply for disability income benefits through your state.

This assumes that you are referring to a private disability policy. Most such policies terminate benefits at age 65, as it is then that the insured would be entitled to Social Security benefits.
No. There really is no such thing as "unused" benefits. If a person pays FICA (Social Security and Medicare) taxes but dies before he or she can collect benefits, his or her widow or widower and minor children, or adult children disabled before age 22 (if applicable) can collect monthly checks for survivors' benefits. Able-bodied adult children or those who became disabled after age 22 cannot collect benefits from their mother's Social Security (FICA) contributions. The unpaid amount remains in the Social Security trust fund.
This depends on the type of Disability insurance you have and also how bad the ulcer is. Normally, individual and group Disability insurance requires that you be unable to perform the material duties of your current occupation, in order to qualify and receive any benefits. If the ulcer is preventing you from working in your job, then there is a chance you may qualify for benefits. If it does not affect your ability to work, then you should not expect to receive benefits. If you are counting on Social Security Disability, you should not expect to be paid disability benefits. Social Security is significantly more difficult to qualify for. You must essentially be unable to do any form of work, in order to be considered disabled and eligible for benefits.
