Age is one of the few things in a disability claim that can work in your favor, and most people applying have no idea that it does.

Serving Kettering and the surrounding Montgomery County area from our nearby Dayton office.
A great deal of the disability work that comes out of a settled residential community involves people who are not young, have worked all their lives, and have reached the point where the body will not do the job any more.
People in that position often assume age counts against them. The opposite is closer to the truth.
The rules recognize that somebody who has spent thirty years doing physical work cannot simply be retrained into something sedentary at fifty-eight, and they take age, education and the skills a person actually has into account when deciding whether there is other work they could realistically move to. The older the claimant and the more physical the work history, the harder that argument becomes for the agency to make.
Which means the least useful thing an older claimant can do is describe themselves as capable of anything at all, out of pride. The question is not whether you could manage something. It is whether you could hold it down, five days a week, at somebody else’s times.
Age does its work in the second of these. The other two are decided on what happened rather than on who it happened to.
Kettering is large, settled and built around a medical corridor, and its population skews older than the county around it. That shows up in the work: long careers ending in injury, and disability claims from people who have paid in for decades.
Kettering is in Montgomery County, and a claim that reaches court is heard at the Montgomery County Court of Common Pleas at 41 N. Perry Street in Dayton, in the Montgomery County Courts Building.
A disability claim is federal and the county court has no part in it. An injury claim does, and Ohio generally allows two years from the date it arises to bring one (Ohio Revised Code § 2305.10). General information about Ohio law rather than advice about your own case.

They were very excellent and very quick with my case because I'm not very good at filling out paperwork they did it all for me. It was easy for me and it didn't take very long and they had my case settled I appreciate everything they have done and I will be referring them to other people.
They are a fantastic group of people that care about their clients. I had the most wonderful experience with them. They helped me with my case and they are super professional but also a balance of lovely compassionate people. Steven and Ben are so sweet and always helped me when I had any questions or paperwork with no judgment.
From the first day I spoke with Mr Steve Casper he was certain we would win my case. He gave me all the confidence that I needed. It's been a long journey but well worth it. We made it and with a win!! Mr Steve Casper is amazing. Ben his assistant is very nice and very knowledgeable too.
I had been working with a large firm for YEARS all to get a letter that said wish you well in the future. Now Casper, Casper & Casper have took action immediately and have been more than proactive in my case in less than month. Very professional and outstanding care and they call you back within the same day.
I've had the pleasure of knowing Steve Casper for over 20 years. I've always appreciated Steve's integrity, humility, and sense of humor. He's very intelligent and yet down-to-earth. I wholeheartedly trust and recommend Steve and Casper, Casper, Casper.
Casper, Casper & Casper were all very professional when I had to speak with them and they made me feel just as important as everyone else's case. They helped me tremendously in a reasonable amount of time. I also was impressed how they get right to the point, no beating around the bush, I appreciate that.
General information, not legal advice. Every case turns on its own facts. The only way to know where yours stands is to have someone look at it.
No, and being older can make the claim easier rather than harder. The rules take account of how realistic it is for somebody with your age, education and work history to move into different work. A long, physical work history is a strength in that analysis rather than a weakness.
It counts for you. A long record of contributions is what SSDI is built on, and a long record of work is also evidence that you are not somebody who stops easily. Examiners see the opposite pattern often enough to notice the difference.
Ask before you do. The two interact, and the order in which somebody claims can affect what they end up with. It is a question worth a phone call rather than a guess, and it is one people commonly get wrong by acting first.
