Disability Support

Having a disability not only impairs one’s physical activity but also his emotions. A disabled person may experience depression and self pity as a result of the injury. A supportive family member can help him overcome such emotions. However, there are times that the family gets dragged into depression as well especially if the disabled member is the bread winner. So it is important that they managed to get their acts together in order to overcome such crisis.

Filing for a social security disability will help the family financially. The Philippine SSS allows a prescriptive period of ten (10) years from the date of occurrence of disability in the filing of disability benefit claim. Just submit the requirements at the nearest SSS branch or representative office.
