DISABILITY AND ATRIAL FIBRILLATION - BENEFITS AND FILING

Atrial fibrillation is an abnormal heart rhythm that occurs in the upper chambers of the heart, known as the atria. Usually, atrial fibrillation is diagnosed with an electrocardiogram (EKG). Most individuals who have atrial fibrillation are asymptomatic. However, some individuals experience palpitations, fainting, chest pain, strokes, and heart failure. Treatment options for individuals who suffer from atrial fibrillation usually involve medication. Currently, there are three types of medications used for the treatment of atrial fibrillation, which are as follows: Beta-blockers, cardiac glycosides, and calcium channel blockers. Should medication fail to control atrial fibrillation, physicians will usually use a pacemaker to regulate heart rhythm. Pacemakers require a surgical procedure to implant them, which does present possible negative risks for an individual.

Can you win social security disability or SSI disability benefits on the basis of Atrial Fibrillation?

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.
