DISABILITY AND ENLARGED HEART - BENEFITS AND FILING

An enlarged heart is usually the result of ventricular hypertrophy, cardio dilation, or hypertension. Some athletes have athletic hypertrophy, which is not harmful to the athlete, because the heart returns to normal when the athletic activity has finished. Generally, an enlarged heart is indicative of more serious disease processes that may become life threatening to an individual.

Can you win social security disability or SSI disability benefits on the basis of an enlarged heart?

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.
