In north carolina (for durham or elsewhere), will your assets count against you if you file for social security disability benefits. No, they will not. And here's one area where people run into a fair amount of confusion. The social security disability program--a benefit based on what you paid into the system--does not take into account your assets. However, the SSI disability program does take into account what assets you have. SSI, of course, is for individuals who do not qualify for social security disability because they are either children, or have not paid enough into the system to qualify.

Can you win disability for only certain impairments, or on the basis of any impairment?

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.

"I have constant back pain, my legs go numb, after sitting or standing for periods of times my back and legs go numb, I have a hard time getting moving again. I have fell several times because my back catches and I can't move. Fibromyalgia with Chronic Widespread body pain, Chronic Fatigue, Severe Depression and anxiety, Irritable Bowl Syndrome, Loss of coherent thought processes, Inability to sit, stand or lie down for longer than 20 minute intervals, difficulty in falling asleep and remaining asleep for longer than 2 hours"
