Can I be turned down for disability in north carolina because I have assets? No, you cannot be turned down for social security disability simply because you have assets. With regard to the social security disability program, there is no asset consideration. It's a different story, however, when it comes to SSI disability. SSI is based on need; therefore, assets are counted in the determination of whether or not you can receive benefits (provided that you meet the medical eligibility requirements). Currently, the asset cap for SSI benefits is set at two thousand dollars. SSI claimants who exceed this limit will not be eligible for SSI.
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 degenerative arthritis from my neck to my tail bone and I have bursitis in my right hip and also around the right knee, even though that knee has been replaced"
"I have been diagnosed with bulging of the spine at the T-7, T-8 and T-9. This was discovered by a MRI. I am in constant pain. The pain is very random. I have difficulty walking, sitting, standing, etc... I can sometimes carry groceries when i am having a good day. The pain affects me all day."
