Welcome to Season 1, Episode 21 of Winning Isn't Easy: Navigating Your Social Security Disability Claim. In this episode, we'll dive into the complicated topic of "Social Security Misbeliefs and Myths."

Join host Nancy L. Cavey, expert Social Security Disability attorney, as she takes on one of the most damaging obstacles claimants face - not paperwork, not deadlines, but misinformation. In this episode of Winning Isn’t Easy, Nancy tackles the myths and misbeliefs that too often keep people from getting the Social Security Disability benefits they’ve earned. Whether it’s the false idea that SSDI is “just welfare,” or the fear that trying to work again means you’ll lose everything, these misconceptions can cause shame, confusion, and costly mistakes. Nancy breaks down where these myths come from, why they persist, and - most importantly - what the truth actually is. She explains the real connection between your work history and your eligibility, clears up the confusion about trial work periods, and sets the record straight on what SSDI really is: an insurance program you paid into through your own hard work. If you’re applying, already receiving benefits, or supporting someone who is, this episode will arm you with facts, confidence, and clarity. Don’t let bad information stand between you and the benefits you deserve. Tune in and learn how to cut through the noise, bust the myths, and protect your future. Let’s get into it.

In this episode, we'll cover the following topics:

1 -  Social Security Disability Benefits Are Just Welfare, and I Am Not a Welfare King or Queen

2 - Aren’t Social Security Disability Benefits Just Welfare?

3 - You Can’t Work at All if You’re Receiving Disability Benefits

Whether you're a claimant, or simply seeking valuable insights into the disability claims landscape, this episode provides essential guidance to help you succeed in your journey. Don't miss it.
