DISABILITY AND SYNCOPE - BENEFITS AND FILING

Syncope is another term for fainting. If an individual experiences an episode of syncope, it may be the result of a pathological condition or a harmless cause. Most syncope episodes are short lived and usually an individual has no lasting effects. Such episodes of syncope may be related to fatigue, lack of food or water, lack of sleep, hypoglycemia, intense exercise beyond the body’s endurance, or simply standing up too quickly.

Unfortunately there are more serious causes for syncope that may be related to heart problems, arrhythmias, or possibly aneurological disorder. If an individual has frequent unexplained episodes of syncope, medical evaluation is imperative to rule out the more serious causes of syncope.

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

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.
