Many people seeking Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits have questions regarding which physical impairments qualify for benefits payments. Questions and confusion can increase when a claim is denied.
Individuals with a wide range of physical illnesses or conditions are eligible for benefits under Social Security rules. We can help you determine whether your illness or condition so limits your ability to work that you are qualified.
