Can you get social security disability in north carolina if you are still employed? Yes, but whether or not you can successfully submit an application will depend on how much you are earning at the time you apply for benefits. If you make under a certain threshold amount, you will be considered eligible based on earning less than "substantial gainful activity. This amount changes year to year, but, typically, this equates to earning less than what would be considered sufficient to support yourself. Individuals who get approved for disability benefits and keep working, or decide to try working again, must be mindful of the fact that work earnings can potentially make them ineligible for disability payments.
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.
