Is it harder to be approved for disability benefits in north carolina if you applying on the basis of a mental disorder. The answer is yes and no. No, simply because the disability evaluation system handles a claim on the basis of a mental disorder the same way as a disability claim that has been filed on the basis of a physical impairment. Yes, because many disability applicants and appellants who have depression, bipolar disorder, panic attacks, anxiety disorder, etc, do not get proper treatment and, as a result, lack the needed medical record documentation needed to effectively pursue a claim for social security disability or ssi disability benefits.

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.
