What is disability determination services and where is it located in north carolina? Disability determination services is the agency that makes medical decisions on social security disability and ssi disability claims for the social security administration. In north carolina, there is only one DDS (some states have more than one) and it is located in raleigh north carolina. DDS is where your medical records are gathered and read. DDS is also where the examiner who reviews your claim is located. How does DDS impact your case? Unfortunately, not in a good way. Most initial claims that are handled by the north carolina DDS are denied, making it necessary for claimants to find representation and file the necessary (and time-consuming) appeals.

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.
