Legal Question in Social Security Law in Michigan

Arthritis Qualification

Less than 4 months ago I was diagnosed with RA and osteoarthritis, there is no way for me to work right now and I have applied for Social Security but they said I was turned down because of my husbands job, I would like to know if his job should affect me getting social security? I have no income and even had to quit college because of my hands and wrists, I am only 35 and just need help!!

I don't believe your spouse's income is taken into account for social security disability. It does impact the receipt of regular social security. Please give us a call at 248-626-5100 or reply to this email and we can discuss this further.
