How Social Security Assesses Multiple Disabilities

Most applicants for Social Security or SSI disability benefits have two or more illnesses or injuries that prevent them from working a full-time job. For example, a disability applicant may have diabetes and high blood pressure, or cancer and depression, or traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Impairments that might not be limiting enough on their own, such as depression or degenerative disc disease, may qualify for disability benefits when the combined effects of their limitations are considered together.

The articles on this page explain how the Social Security Administration evaluates disability claims involving multiple conditions. Readers will also learn how to improve their chances of approval when they have multiple disabling conditions.
