If I am trying to win disability benefits in north carolina (kannapolis or elsewhere), how will I know if I am eligible for SSI or social security disability? How are they different? Answer: Supplemental security income, or SSI, is actually intended for those individuals who are not insured for social security disability benefits, also known as SSD or SSDI (social security disability insurance). SSI is essentially for individuals who have never worked, like children, adults who were once insured for social security disability but whose insured coverage lapsed, and adults who are currently covered for social security disability, but whose monthly benefit amount would be fairly small (in such cases, SSI is truly supplemental.
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.
"Diabetes obesity chronic kidney disease loss of vision pain in feet and legs can't sleep can't walk or be on feet for any length of time trouble going to bathroom can't stand heat or cold headachs pain in kidney area of back"
"Degenerative disc disease- I suffer from severe back pain and cannot sleep at night. It causes me to not be able to sit for a long time or stand either. I cannot lift over 20 lbs without dropping it because it makes me have a sharp pain in my lower back. And I have mild scoliosis- this also makes my back pain worse"
"Arthritis in back and neck, degenerative disc disease, cervical radiculitis, bursitis in both rotater cuffs, depression, sleep apnea, obesity, constant muscle spasms in back due to arthritis and shoulder pain"
