You may be eligible for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) if you have worked and paid into Social Security for a number of years but now are no longer able to work as you did before because of a covered medical condition. Broad categories of impairments that may qualify you to receive Social Security disability benefits may include:
- Musculoskeletal conditions such as major dysfunction of a joint
- Respiratory system conditions such as emphysema
- Cardiovascular system conditions such as obstruction of arteries
- Digestive system conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease
- Genitourinary impairments such as chronic renal disease
- Hematological disorders such as chronic anemia
- Skin disorders
- Endocrine disorders
- Multiple body system impairments
- Neurological disorders such as epilepsy
- Mental disorders such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorders
- Malignant neoplastic diseases
- Immune system disorders
Whatever medical condition keeps you from working as before, you will need to apply for Social Security Disability Insurance benefits. Most SSDI claims are denied at the first application. The next step will be an appeal before a hearing officer. You are strongly advised to work with a knowledgeable Social Security disability attorney throughout your appeals process.
If your appeal is successful, your lawyer's fees will come out of a lump sum payment dating back to your original application. Thereafter, your Social Security disability payments will be yours alone.
