Do I Qualify?
Qualifying for Social Security Disability benefits in North Carolina
To qualify for Social Security Disability, you must prove to the Social Security Administration (SSA) that you are unable to work.
The SSA follows a complex legal definition of disability and is quick to deny claims that do not meet this definition perfectly.
This does not mean you have to take no for an answer. Burch & Rodgers is experienced at developing claims that meet SSA’s strict requirements.
Nearly any medical condition (both physical and mental) that prevents you from working can qualify you for disability benefits, including:
- Depression
- Chronic pain
- Diabetes
- Spinal trauma
- Cancer
- Bipolar disorder
- Anxiety disorders
- Fibromyalgia
- Heart disease
- Multiple sclerosis
- Lyme disease
- HIV/AIDS
- Arthritis
- Many more
Qualifying for Supplemental Security Income benefits
Another program administered by SSA is Supplemental Security Income. This program is intended to assist those with low income who are unable to work due to age, blindness or disability.
