Social security disability, exploring the topic
If you have applied for benefits based on a mental impairment, however, be very careful about the details of your status as a student. Although common sense tells us that there is a big difference between the workforce environment and that of being a student, the disability examiner for your case might not see it that way. A disability examiner may assume that if your injury does not prevent you from attending classes, then you can surely be part of the workforce. That is why it is often recommended that you be careful when mentioning your student status if your social security disability claim is pending. Q: If you are awarded social security disability benefits, when are you eligible for Medicare? A: Once you have reached two years past your date of entitlement for social security disability, you can qualify for Medicare.
