To be eligible for Social Security Disability benefits, you must have a medical, physical, or psychological disability or injury which is severe enough to keep you from working, and earning above a certain amount, for at least one year.
To schedule a consultation with an experienced Oklahoma City Social Security Disability and injury lawyer and discuss whether your illness or medical condition is likely to qualify you to receive SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance) benefits, contact us.
If you are no longer able to work at your chosen profession because of an illness, injury, or chronic condition, it is important to understand that Social Security Disability benefits are not a government handout. Rather, they are in effect payout of insurance that you have paid into through your paycheck deductions turned over to the government throughout your working life.
After having worked and paid into the Social Security system over a number of years, you may be entitled to benefits because of health conditions including the following (provided that the Social Security Administration agrees that they are severe enough to prevent you from working and earning a living):
- Musculoskeletal disorders, such as degenerative disk disease, or amputation for any reason
- Respiratory system disorders, such as asthma or cystic fibrosis
- Cardiovascular system disorders, such as chronic heart failure
- Digestive disorders, such as peptic ulcer disease
- Genitourinary system disorders or complications, such as chronic renal dialysis
- Hematological disorders such as chronic anemia
- Skin disorders such as psoriasis
- Endocrine system disorders such as thyroid disorders
- Neurological disorders such as epilepsy
- Cardiovascular impairments
- Mental disorders such as bipolar disorder
- Immune system disorders such as connective tissue disorder or inflammatory arthritis
