What Disabilities Are Included?
In general, a person can qualify for disability if they have a severe medical condition that keeps them from working as they could in the past. The condition must also have lasted or be expected to last at least a year or cause death. Many disabling conditions have been listed by the SSA in its “Listing of Impairments,” and one of our Social Security Disability attorneys can help you determine whether your condition meets these criteria.
One of the most common disabilities is arthritis or musculoskeletal system issues, and vision or hearing impairment. A significant number of people also suffer from mental health conditions, including mood disorders and intellectual disabilities such as autism or schizophrenia, and can receive Social Security Disability benefits. Injuries can also lead to disability, with amputations and severe back problems among the most common.
