Heath Reynold Lorah v. Social Security Administration

Allentown, Pennsylvania social security disability lawyer represented the Plaintiff seeking review of his application for social security DIWC/DIWW benefits.

DIWW (Disabled Insured Widow's/Widower's Claim)



An individual must be 50 years old, be found disabled, and have been married to a person who was insured when that person died. The widow/widower must also become disabled within 7 years of their spouse's death. There are special rules when the spouse draws benefits on behalf of children that extends

the 7 years, so it does not start until the children are grown. If a prior divorced spouse dies, the disabled person must have been married to the deceased spouse seven years. If the Widow/Widower is 60 or over, and meets the other requirements, then he or she does not have to be found disabled.
