PTSD is the acronym for post traumatic stress disorder. Ptsd falls under the heading of psychiatric impairments. The condition is essentially defined as a type of anxiety disorder, the symptoms of which are the result of a prior traumatic event or episode. Disability claimants with ptsd, or post traumatic stress disorder, generally allege other impairments as well, such as depression, anxiety disorder, or full fledged panic attacks. Can a claimant's treatment for ptsd result in the winning of disability benefits? Essentially, a claimant who applies for social security disability (or ssi based on a disabling condition) can win a claim and be approved for benefits no matter what their single impairment is, or their various conditions consist of. The social security administration's disability claim evaluation process focuses not on a specific diagnosis, but, rather, on the functional limitations imposed by an illness or impairment.
