SOCIAL SECURITY LAW:

People considering applying for social Security disability benefits often wonder, "What medical conditions qualify for disability benefits?"  Unfortunately, there is no simple answer to this question.  The Social Security Administration's method of determining whether you qualify for disability benefits is more complicated than just comparing your doctor's diagnosis against a list of medical conditions that qualify for disability benefits. 

Disabilities vary in severity, and one person might qualify for disability benefits because of a certain medical condition while another person does not.  What really matters to SSA isn't your disability per se, but how it affects your ability to work.  SSA uses a five-step sequential evaluation process that considers not only your medical condition and the limitations it causes, but also your ability to work in spite of those limitations.
