EDEN, NORTH CAROLINA Complete the following form if seeking help from a disability lawyer or attorney in Eden, North Carolina NC

What is the asset limit in north carolina (for eden and other areas) for an ssi disability claim? The limit is $2000, meaning that to qualify for ssi, and to remain eligible after you have been approved, you cannot have more than this amount in countable assets, which would include homes other than the home in which you live (rental property) and cars other than the car you primarily use for transportation. If you have excess property of this nature, the fair market value of these items would be used to determine whether or not you are exceeding the asset limit. However, asset limits only apply to ssi not social security disability.

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.
