If you are suffering from migraines, you should be currently treating with a neurologist that specializes in headaches/migraines only! You must have medical documentations and ongoing medical treatment when seeking SSD benefits.
This is important when seeking permanent or temporary SSDI benefits.

Another thing you should be aware of is...
Social security may pay nothing for a person who has a partial disability, unless that disability is deemed severe enough to adversely impact the ability to function. Your medical records must back this up.

================

Temporary Total Disability (TTD)

In contrast to the SSA's Permanent Partial Disability benefits, Temporary Total Disability (TTD) benefits typically are retroactive to one week from the date you were last able to work and may last indefinitely.

Total disability is a complete restriction from all work, based on the opinion of a physician.

TTD benefits are also based on a percentage of average weekly wages but are paid at an injured worker's full wage rate.

After week 104 of receiving TTD benefits, you may have an impairment rating evaluation (IRE). If a physician determines at the IRE that you have reached maximum medical improvement and you are not more than 50 percent disabled, your status can be changed to Permanent Partial Disability.
