SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY, SSI FOR ATHEROSCLEROSIS

Can you get ssd ssi disability for atherosclerosis?


Atherosclerosis is a symptom of coronary artery ischemic heart disease and is a condition that is sometimes cited on an application for social security disability or ssi based on disability.

Atherosclerosis is caused by artheromatous plaque, which builds up in the arteries of the body. Arthermatous plaque build up causes stenosis and rupture of the affected arteries. Additionally, if the build up of artheromatous plaque causes the artery to enlarge too much the artery will burst, and this is known as an aneurysm. Atherosclerosis affects the entire body, and it may lead to stenosis in the brain, kidneys, legs, and so forth.

How is atherosclerosis viewed by SSA? Atherosclerosis, which refers to a buildup of cholesterol-containing plaques along the walls of major blood vessels, is an indicator of ischemic heart disease, a condition that involves reduced levels of oxygen being transported to the heart. The fact that a claimant has ischemia will not necessarily lead to the awarding of disability benefits. In fact, the social security administration is very specific regarding the levels of occlusion, or blockages, that an individual must have in a major artery to be eligible for disability benefits.

However, individuals with ischemic heart disease (aka coronary artery disease) who do not meet such criteria, may also be awarded 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 any other kind of work.
