What are the odds of being awarded disability benefits (social security disability or SSI) if you file in north carolina? SSD and SSI are supposed to be uniform and standardized programs, meaning that, ideally, regardless of where you live in the country, it shouldn't make a difference as to the outcome of your case. Unfortunately, statistics released by the federal government show that isn't the case. North Carolina is one of the states where it is certainly more difficult to get approved for disability than in other states. Why this is the case, no one knows. It may be that the agency that makes decisions on disability claims in north carolina (for greensboro and every town and city), known as DDS, or disability determination services, simply has a "culture" of denying claims.
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 carpel tunnel in both hands had surgury in both. I have a metal plate and screws in my right hip and left forarm"
"Circulation Problems in Left Leg and foot due to a pulmonary embolism and I have swelling of the Left leg on a daily basis"
"Depression, and panic and anxiety attacks. Very difficult to stay focused and complete a task"
"I have hard time walking for long periods, tough time breathing in morning and all day long. I have difficulty standing for periods at a time"
