The mistake resulted her missing out on a total of $56,000 in benefits.<\/p>\n<p>An article from <a href=\"\/\/abc7news.com\/news\/concord-woman-gets-wrong-social-security-amount\/889580\/\">ABC 7 News<\/a> explains the woman suffered a disabling injury in a forklift accident in 1995. Her husband died of cancer five years later, which allowed her to receive survivor\u2019s benefits in addition to her SSDI benefits; however, a mistake was made when calculating her benefits, which resulted in her not receiving an additional $450 per month.<\/p>\n<p>The error was corrected, but it serves as a reminder of the importance of regularly checking your earned benefits so that you receive the compensation you\u2019re entitled to. The Social Security Administration\u2019s website provides a calculator that can help you determine your exact benefit total. Determining this total can help ensure\u00a0you\u2019re prepared in the event an accident or illness leaves you unable to work.<\/p>\n<p>Even if you are tracking your earned annual benefits, mistakes still happen. That\u2019s why the Social Security Disability lawyers at Newlin Disability\u00a0believe it\u2019s so important to have a legal representative by your side throughout the SSDI application or appeals process.<\/p>\n<p>Let our legal staff give you the assistance with your case that you deserve.
