SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY, SSI FOR BACK PAIN & PROBLEMS

Can you get ssd ssi disability for back pain and problems?


Back pain may be due to a specific injury or accident, or may be the result of a medical condition or disorder such as scoliosis.

But, regardless of cause or origin, back pain can be debilitating, sometimes incapacitating, and can easily prevent an individual from returning to their current job, one of their past jobs, or, indeed, any other type of employment.

How does the social security administration view back pain? The impairment listing manual used by DDS examiners does contain a section devoted to musculoskeletal disorders, some of it specifically relating to conditions that cause a significant degree of back pain.

Unfortunately, the social security administration is not particulary adept at evaluating the role of chronic back pain, and, for this reason, it may be difficult for a person with such pain to win a claim for benefits on the initial disability application.

Having said this, though, most claimants will find that their chances before an Administrative Law judge at a disability hearing are substantially higher than at the initial claim and disability reconsideration levels. For this reason, individuals who are denied should not give up, but, rather, should pursue their disability claims.
