At Shipon Law Associates, we understand that applying for Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits can be a daunting and complex process. Many individuals are unaware that they may qualify for benefits due to serious medical conditions that prevent them from being able to work. If you have a medical condition that is severely limiting your ability to perform work-related tasks, you may be eligible for SSD benefits.
Our experienced team at Shipon Law Associates is proud to represent clients nationwide, helping them navigate the intricacies of the Social Security Disability application process. Below, we’ve outlined the top 10 medical conditions that are commonly approved for SSD benefits. If you have one of these conditions and are unable to work, don’t hesitate to reach out to us for help. We can assist you in obtaining the Social Security Disability benefits you deserve.
1. Cancer
Cancer, in all its forms, can be incredibly debilitating, especially in advanced stages or during intensive treatments like chemotherapy or radiation. If your cancer diagnosis limits your ability to work due to treatment side effects, fatigue, or physical limitations, you may qualify for SSD benefits. Each case is unique, but if you are unable to work because of cancer, contact us to learn more about your eligibility.
2. Heart Disease and Heart Failure
Chronic heart conditions, including coronary artery disease, heart failure, and arrhythmias, can significantly affect your physical stamina and ability to perform tasks. If you experience shortness of breath, fatigue, chest pain, or other symptoms that prevent you from working, we can help you apply for Social Security Disability benefits.
3. Mental Health Disorders (e.g., Depression, Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia)
Mental health conditions like severe depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia can be just as disabling as physical conditions. If these disorders impair your ability to focus, interact with others, or complete job tasks, you may qualify for Social Security Disability. The Social Security Administration (SSA) recognizes the impact of these conditions on your ability to work.
4. Chronic Respiratory Diseases (e.g., COPD, Asthma)
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and other respiratory disorders can make even simple physical activities, including walking or lifting, incredibly challenging. If you experience frequent shortness of breath, chronic cough, or fatigue from a respiratory illness that makes working impossible, we may be able to help you apply for SSD benefits.
5. Severe Arthritis (e.g., Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis)
Osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and other forms of severe joint disease can cause debilitating pain, swelling, and stiffness in the joints, making it difficult or impossible to perform tasks that require fine motor skills, lifting, or standing for long periods. If your arthritis prevents you from working, reach out to us for assistance with your SSD claim.
6. Diabetes and Diabetic Complications
Diabetes, particularly when it leads to complications such as neuropathy, retinopathy, or kidney disease, can severely impact your ability to work. If your condition is causing significant functional limitations or if you require frequent medical interventions, you may be eligible for Social Security Disability.
7. Stroke (Cerebrovascular Accident)
The aftermath of a stroke can cause lasting physical, mental, and emotional impairments. If you experience partial paralysis, speech or cognitive impairments, or difficulties with memory and concentration after a stroke, you may qualify for SSD benefits.
8. Severe Kidney Disease (Chronic Kidney Disease)
Chronic kidney disease, especially when it progresses to end-stage renal failure, can severely limit a person’s ability to function. Individuals who require dialysis or who experience fatigue, swelling, and other symptoms may be unable to work. If kidney disease is preventing you from working, we can help guide you through the Social Security Disability application process.
9. Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
Multiple sclerosis is a progressive neurological disease that can cause a wide range of symptoms, including severe fatigue, muscle weakness, loss of coordination, vision problems, and cognitive difficulties. MS can greatly impact your ability to perform daily work tasks, and if you are unable to work due to MS, you may qualify for SSD benefits.
10. Back and Spinal Disorders (e.g., Degenerative Disc Disease, Spinal Stenosis)
Chronic back pain and spinal conditions, such as degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, and herniated discs, can prevent you from standing, sitting, or performing physical tasks for extended periods. If your back condition causes severe pain or limits your mobility, you may be eligible for Social Security Disability.
