SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY, SSI FOR SCOLIOSIS

Can you get ssd ssi disability for scoliosis?


Scoliosis refers to an abnormal curvature of the spine. Scoliosis is typically a congenital defect, but is sometimes transitory and caused by a state of muscle spasms.

Basically, individuals with significant scoliosis may suffer from difficulty breathing, sitting, pain, and ambulation. A spine with significant scoliosis can never be completely straightened. However, surgeons have achieved good spinal corrections with spinal fusions.

Of course, sometimes surgical intervention is not available to some individuals for a variety of reasons. If your scoliosis is not severe enough to warrant a spinal fusion, there are very few treatment options available to you. Physical therapy and chiropractic therapy have offered some relief from back pain.

Scoliosis may cause limitation of daily activity or work, if the curvature of the spine is untreated or the corrective spinal fusion has left an individual with residual back pain. Scoliosis is often listed on disability applications as an alleged impairment and, in general terms, a claimant with scoliosis will not typically win a disability claim based solely on this condition.

However, since the social security administration's approach to evaluating ssd and ssi claims is to look at the overall picture and gauge an indvidual's resulting restrictions, a claimant with scoliosis can be awarded disability benefits if the condition is severe enough.
