Allsup explains financial implications of SSDI benefits, online financial planning calculators available to people with disabilities.

Belleville, Ill. (Vocus) August 29, 2008 -- Deciding how to move forward after a diagnosis of a long-term disability is a personal matter, but it's important that individuals do as much as they can to understand their financial options, according to http://www.allsup.com/ [Allsup], which represents people nationwide for http://www.allsup.com/About-SSDI/Free-SSDI-Evaluation.aspx [Social Security Disability Insurance] benefits (SSDI).

"No one is going to see your personal situation and circumstances, or your financial position the way you can," said Paul Gada, a tax attorney and personal financial planning director for Allsup. "You have the best perspective on what needs to happen next, but you don't have to go it alone."

Experiencing an injury, chronic illness or disease condition causes stress and worry for individuals and their families. It also places some concerns into sharper focus, including financial decisions and options. "Many people don't see the need for a budget because they have enough money coming in to cover their expenses," Mr. Gada said. "But encountering a disability and having to stop work dramatically alters the picture for people and their families. That's when all the numbers really need to come under the magnifying glass."

To help clarify these concerns, Allsup offers the following information about the role of Social Security disability benefits and financial calculators, which can help families get a better grip on their existing financial situation.
