Answer: The Social Security Administration's disability evaluation system does not focus on a claimant's diagnosis, but, rather, on the functional limitations a claimant has. In other words, the name of the condition is not the chief consideration. How the condition "affects and limits: the indiviual is the primary concern. So, yes, disability benefits can be won on the basis of nearly any condition provided that the condition is sufficiently limiting.
As these hypothetical examples show, disabling conditions can take a wide variety of forms.
"Full blown fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis of spine and knees, chronic fatige syndrome and severe depression. I live in 24/7 chronic pain, burning, fatigue and am "stiff" from the arthritis."

When I do have use of my right arm it is very limited. I always drive with one hand. At times I have severe pain in my upper back, neck and both arms."
