Early onset Alzheimer's disease can be a frightening thing for people, since treatments are still not perfectly effective. But those who successfully navigate the Social Security disability process may have something to cheer about.

That's because treatment news is coming out on a daily basis about concepts that could help those suffering from Alzheimer's Disease. For example, researchers are looking at proteins that slow the Alzheimer's process down and improve learning and memory, with the backing of leading drug manufacturers who are pursuing different avenues for treatment. Even those not involved in the recent study say it shows promise.

It could be a new step in the fight for people to regain or maintain their memory and mental faculties before things get progressively worse. And with the decline of Alzheimer's disease comes one real need for some who were diagnosed earlier in life: the possibility of applying for Social Security Disability.

If you are over the age of 50 and received the diagnosis, your first thought may have been that you couldn't keep your job even though you didn't have plans to retire. But the medical evidence could make you eligible and help speed up the claims process for your benefits.

Considering the difficulty you may have in finding ways to supplement your income as you deal with a new condition, it makes sense to try and get benefits that you've earned. If you want to consult with a legal team who can help you navigate the process, contact Markhoff & Mittman, P.C. today.
