SSDI/SSI Disabling Diseases

McKinney, Texas, Social Security Disability Lawyer

The Social Security Administration has a list of diseases and the requirements for each to be considered a disability under the Social Security Disability or Supplemental Security Income programs. At the Law Offices of Michael Sloan in McKinney, Texas, we offer a free initial consultation to help you evaluate whether you may be considered disabled.

Your medical condition is only half the story in determining whether you are entitled to SSDI or SSI benefits. The other half is vocational, considering your age, your education and your work experience. For example, a condition that is considered a disability for someone who is 59 and has a high school education may not be considered a disability for someone who is 35 and has a college degree.

There is some leeway under each disease listing, and our staff will work hard to get all the necessary medical records and information to support your claim.
