QUESTION OF THE MONTH: WHO DECIDES IF A PERSON IS DISABLED? According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the unemployment rate in the U.S. in February fell to 3.8 percent

ROASTED RADISHES WITH RADISH GREENS

from 4 percent at the beginning of the year. Many people across the country are celebrating the drop, but what many of them don’t realize is that a lot of factors get shoved to the wayside when this number is configured — one of the most important being the application process for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI). While there are Americans who argue against SSDI or SSI, these programs are an absolute necessity for millions of disabled people throughout the nation who are physically or mentally unable to work and who need financial assistance just to make ends meet. The application process for these programs is quite complex, and many who apply are denied access. If you have a disability that prevents you from working, you should seriously consider letting us help you apply for these programs. Once you apply, the Social Security Administration (SSA) will review your application using a five-step process to ensure that you meet basic requirements for disability benefits. 1. Are you working? 2. Is your medical condition considered “severe”? 3. Is your medical condition on their list of impairments? 4. Can you do the work you did before you were injured? 5. Can you do any other type of work? After answering these questions and reviewing your application, the SSA will send it to the Disability Determination Services (DDS) office located in your state. Doctors and disability specialists in the state agency then contact your doctor(s) regarding your condition. They will use medical evidence from your doctors and hospitals, clinics, or institutions where you have been treated. After that, they may still require more medical information before they can decide if you are disabled. As you can see, even applying for these programs is convoluted. If you have any questions about the process or about who ultimately determines whether or not you qualify for SSDI or SSI, please contact us for a FREE case evaluation on Social Security disability.

Radishes start showing up in droves during the spring and summer months, but all too often we only eat the bulbs raw on salads and discard the greens. This recipes bucks both of those trends, with the radishes being roasted alongside their green tops.

INGREDIENTS • 3 bunches radishes with greens attached • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil • Salt and pepper, to taste

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

INSTRUCTIONS 1. Heat oven to 500 F. While heating, trim radishes and wash greens. Pat both dry using a paper towel. 2. In a large ovenproof skillet, heat oil over high heat until shimmering. Season radishes with salt and pepper, add to skillet, and cook until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Transfer entire skillet to oven rack and roast for 15 minutes. 3. Once removed from oven, return skillet to stove. Over medium heat, stir in butter and add greens. Cook until they are wilted, about 2 minutes. 4. Finish with lemon juice and additional salt if desired. Serve immediately.
