Social Security Disability law is extremely complicated, and the SSD claim process is often just too much for a disabled, sick or injured Westchester County worker to take on.

Do I qualify for an SSD claim in Westchester County?

There are certain work requirements that you need to meet before your claim can be considered. You must also suffer from a medical condition or requirement that is covered by Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits. These conditions can be physical, mental, or a combination of both. Some common examples include:

musculoskeletal disorders such as back injuries, arthritis, and joint disorders that significantly limit a person's mobility and ability to work
severe heart conditions, such as chronic heart failure, coronary artery disease, and congenital heart defects, if they cause significant impairment and functional limitations
chronic respiratory conditions like asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and lung diseases that severely impact breathing and oxygen intake
neurological disorders such as epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and other neurological impairments that cause substantial limitations in physical or cognitive functioning
serious mental health conditions, such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and severe anxiety disorders
certain types of cancer, especially those that are advanced or inoperable
autoimmune diseases such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, HIV/AIDS, and other immune system disorders that cause significant impairment and functional limitations
conditions that result in chronic pain, such as fibromyalgia, chronic regional pain syndrome (CRPS), and other chronic pain disorders.

There are also other considerations, such as your ability to perform substantial gainful activity (work) and the duration of the illness or impairment.
