Will the income of a spouse affect my disability benefits in north carolina? Potentially, the income of your spouse (husband or wife) can affect how much your montly disability benefit amount is, or even whether or not you receive a monthly disability benefit. However, this only applies to SSI disability benefits. SSI stands for supplemental security income and is a need based benefit. As a result, an SSI recipient's eligibility to receive benefits will be determined not only by their gross monthly earnings, if any (which also applies to SSD), but also by any other income that is present in their family, such as the earnings of a spouse.
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.
"Bi-Polar Disability; Alclhol Addiction; and a variant of Prevasive Developmental Disorder.... I have worked many jobs, but almost always part time. Any pressure or deviation of schedule or work and I panic, quit or walk away."
"I am completely deaf in my left ear and losing hearing in my right ear. I suffer from short term memory loss and other mental symptoms."
"I have been having panic attacks when ever I have to deal with anyone new. I can not bring myslef to go to work anymore. I have a hard time in a large group not to become rude and mean just so they will not talk to me."
