Yes, you can be denied and turned down for social security disability benefits if you have heart disease. And quite easily. Unfortunately, the way the social security disability / SSI system works, to be approved for benefits on the basis of a heart condition, you generally have to "meet or equal" the requirements of a listing (for those not familiar with this term, SSA uses an impairment listing manual that provides specifications for being approved based on specific impairments). However, meeting a listing for coronary artery disease or congestive heart failure can be extraordinarily difficult. Even doctors and disability claims examiners who decide claims for the social security administration have remarked that, when it comes to heart diseases, SSA nearly expects you to be dead before they're willing to approve you. Not surprisingly, SSA's hard-line position on heart disease cases often comes as a shock to claimants to who have just recently had a heart attack and/or coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG, pronounced as "cabbage"). If you've had a heart attack, the social security administration will typically prefer to wait three months before deciding your claim. This is for the purpose of waiting to see to what extent you condition will limit you afterwards. In most instances, the social security administration will tend to not consider a single heart attack and a single bypass graft as particularly disabling. However, it is likewise true that SSA turns down a large percentage of all disability claims. For this reason, an individual filing for disability on the basis of heart disease would probably benefit from obtaining representation to assist them with their claim.
