FRZ001 Disability Freeze
(1) (2) for a period of disability beginning (3) . Although (4) will not receive checks during (5) period of disability, we will use the period to protect the amount of any benefit we might pay (6) family in the future.

FRZ003 Statutory Blind Number Holder Allowed a Period of Disability (Freeze) but Denied Disability Benefits
We have reviewed (1) Social Security claim and find that (2) entitled to a period of disability but (3) not entitled to Disability Insurance Benefits. We have established a period of disability for (4) beginning (5) .
To be eligible for disability benefits a person must be unable to engage in substantial gainful activity. It has been determined from the evidence in (6) case that the work (7) done while disabled shows (8) ability to do some type of substantial gainful work. Thus, (9) not entitled to these benefits. Under special provisions of the Social Security law concerning blind persons, however, (10) entitled to a period of disability regardless of (11) ability to work.
The period of disability now established for (12) is important. It protects (13) right to insurance benefits and the benefit rights of (14) dependents and survivors.
