Listing of Impairments, or Disabling Conditions, Qualifying for Disability Benefits

Probably the most common disabling conditions involve the back , both acute and chronic.  Back and other skeletal conditions impair the ability to walk, lift, sit etc. and are also usually painful. The list of disabling conditions that might qualify one for benefits is extensive. We offer a few guidelines for your convenience.

Immune System Diseases Disorders of the immune system may prevent gainful activity because of a serious loss of function of a single organ or body system, or lesser degrees of functional loss of two or more organs/body systems resulting in significant symptoms such as severe fatigue, fever, malaise, weight loss, joint pain and stiffness. These conditions generally evolve and persist for extended periods and may require long-term, repeated evaluation and management.

Mental Disorders Disorders of the mind are complex and fall into several categories with different characteristics of qualifying for disability.

Musculoskeletal Impairment  Disorders of the musculoskeletal system may result from hereditary, congenital, or acquired pathologic processes. Impairments may result from infectious, inflammatory, or degenerative processes, traumatic or developmental events, or neoplastic, vascular, or toxic/metabolic diseases.

Visual Impairments   Disorders of the eye are complex and fall into several categories with different characteristics of qualifying for disability.
