How long do I have to wait after becoming disabled before I can file a claim for Social Security disability benefits?
Not even one day. You can file for Social Security disability benefits on the very same day that you become disabled. Many people make the mistake of waiting months or even years after becoming disabled before filing a Social Security disability claim. Still, there is no reason to file a Social Security disability claim if you have only a minor illness or one which is unlikely to last a year or more.
