You may receive Social Security Disability if your condition prevents you from returning to work or being employed for more than a year. Here are just a few common examples of the types of disability cases.<\/p>\n

Do You Qualify for Benefits?<\/h2>\n

The essential mission of Social Security Disability benefits is crystal clear. Using the Administration\u2019s own words, SSD \u201cprovides benefits to disabled workers and to their dependents. For those who can no longer work due to a disability, [the] disability program is there to replace some of their lost income.\u201d<\/p>\n

To receive SSD benefits you must meet several criteria:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Your impairment must prevent you from doing the work you did before.<\/li>\n
  • You must be unable to adjust to other work due to your condition.<\/li>\n
  • Your disability must last, or be expected to last, for at least one year.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The SSA uses a list of impairments to determine whether or not you are eligible for benefits. Many of them fall into the following general categories:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Musculoskeletal problems; i.e., back conditions and dysfunctional joints and bones<\/li>\n
    • Speech, vision, or hearing loss<\/li>\n
    • Respiratory illnesses, such as asthma and cystic fibrosis.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
