Disabling Conditions
Whether you have experienced an injury from an accident or suffering from a physical condition, disease, or a mental health issue, you may be entitled to benefits from the Social Security Administration (SSA) if the condition is considered disabling.
Unfortunately, the fact that you are genuinely disabled won't matter unless you can convince the SSA that you cannot work.
That's why at Access Disability Advocates, our entire focus is dedicated to helping people obtain Social Security benefits.

These two lists are not a complete listing of the common disabling conditions, injuries, diseases and impairments recognized by the Social Security Administration. These are only examples. In other words, if your condition or impairment isn't listed, do not worry or assume that you won't qualify for benefits.
The important thing to take away is that simply having one of these injuries or conditions is not enough. The impairment must be carefully described so that it fits within one of the SSA's accepted definitions of a disabling injury, illness or condition. We know what the SSA and their administrative law judges are looking for and can help to prepare your case accordingly.
