A brainstorm on attorneys for social security disability
Even if you are not "legally" blind, you may be eligible for benefits. If unsure, it is best to talk to your social security lawyer or advocate about qualifying for legal blindness. The SSA has special guidelines when working with legally blind applicants. Because being blind is so debilitating, many legally blind applicants can receive higher benefits than those with other disabilities. As of the year 2008, the highest benefit for the blind was $1,570 monthly.
