To put it simply, you should not wait a single day. The day you become disabled is the day you can physically claim your benefits. Often times injured individuals wait for months and even years before applying, without knowing that they are making a mistake and not realizing that their claim will become lengthy and complicated.   There is also no reason to apply for the benefits if the injury is minor and is unlikely to last for more than 12 months. But for those people that are expected to stay out of work for more than 12 months due to the injury, a claim should be filed as soon as possible. At Cavey, Hudson and Barrett we never delay our clients’ cases; we only do what’s best for you. We will do everything at all possbile for you in a very timely and professional manner.
