What If My Health Problem Isn’t Listed in the Qualifying Impairments?
The Social Security Administration (SSA) has a listing of impairments that officially qualify for benefits.
Sometimes people call it the “blue book” of impairments. It lists more than a dozen categories of qualifying physical and mental conditions, adding up to hundreds of individual diagnoses. And it gives details on how to qualify for benefits with each one.
But it doesn’t include every single condition out there, possibly even yours.
If your condition isn’t on the list, don’t lose hope. You can take another path to winning disability benefits: seeking what’s called a “residual functional capacity” rating, which shows how your symptoms (not your diagnosis) limit your daily activities.
No matter what, you’ll need to provide proof of your condition to the SSA. You will have to show:
- Records of your medical visits
- Reports from your doctors
- Medical test results
- Details of your prescriptions
- Descriptions of your treatment plans
- Explanation of the demands of your past jobs
- Statements from people who know you
Your evidence must support your claim that you can’t work—at all—and the reason is bad health.
Gathering all the material and filling out all the forms can be complicated and draining. Wells, Manning, Eitenmiller & Taylor can take on this burden for you.
When you get disability benefits, and you know checks are guaranteed to come every month, it can restore a sense of peace to your life.
