My understanding is that SSD (Social Security Disability) is calculated the same way that SS retirement benefits are - by your lifetime contributions, so a young person would have a smaller payment. Based on the people I've represented, SSD is very hard to get, at least here in Northern Virginia. I once represented a man with AIDS who had a cytomegalovirus infection in his brain that made him demented, and we couldn't get approval until he went into his final coma. Lawyer's fees are contingent, calculated on an hourly basis, and must be approved by SS administration. But no doubt there are abuses - any place where money can be had, there are abuses.
