SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY, SSI FOR ANGINA

Can you get ssd ssi disability for angina?


Angina is a symptom of coronary artery ischemic heart disease. Angina is also a symptom, or complaint, that is frequently cited on applications for social security disability and ssi based on disability.

More than six million Americans experience angina. Studies indicate that angina is a presenting symptom of coronary artery disease in women more often than men. Angina is known as a disease of “affluence”, because it affects more westerners than third world residents. Studies also indicate that as more poor nations are able move out of poverty, their citizens are more likely to suffer from diseases such as angina and coronary artery disease. Smoking, obesity, and other risk factors contribute to angina.

How is angina viewed by the social security administration? As stated earlier, angina is symptomatic of a heart condition. Therefore, having angina alone will not result in the awarding of disability benefits.

However, the claimant who suffers from a heart condition and who meets the specific disability criteria used by SSA can be awarded benefits.

Generally, for the individual with coronary artery disease this will mean having an occlusion, or blockage, in a main artery (for example, right coronary artery, left anterior descending artery, or circumflex artery) that is at least a certain percentage.

However, individuals with CAD and symptoms of angina, who do not meet such criteria, may also be awarded disability benefits if they are granted a medical vocational allowance. In other words, if it is determined that they cannot return to their past work, or do any other kind of work.
