Social security attorney, the basic primer
In general, the legally blind are treated by Social Security in the exact same way as other disable persons. But some special benefits are set aside for the legally blind, as this condition is particularly disabling. You should speak to a social security lawyer about any extended benefits you can get for legal blindness. Q: I've heard I can't file for Social Security for 12 months after my disability. Is this true? A: No, this is not true.
