Neurological Disorders

Do you suffer from epilepsy, muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, or another neurological disorder?

If so, your condition may be so severe that it prevents you from working. Piles of medical bills and no paycheck may mean even more tough times for you and your family.

If you have a serious nervous system disorder and it affects your ability to earn a living, you may be eligible for Social Security disability (SSD) benefits. However, the Social Security Administration is denying more claims than ever. Many of those denied actually should receive SSD benefits.

With help from Edgar Snyder & Associates, you can get the SSD benefits you need.

Types of Neurological Disorders

If you have one of the following neurological disorders or disabilities, you may be eligible for SSD benefits:

SSD Eligibility Criteria

Having a serious neurological disorder doesn't automatically mean you'll qualify for SSD benefits. The Social Security Administration has a specific set of criteria it uses to determine whether a person is eligible for SSD benefits.

To be considered "disabled," the neurological disorder must do one or more of the following:

• Prevent you from working full-time
• Keep you from working at all (not just the job you held before)
• Have lasted, or is expected to last, for at least one year
• Be life-threatening (especially when diagnosed with other diseases or disorders)

Know that the Social Security Administration will review your medical records and look for proof of diagnosis, information on your treatment plan, and other details about your condition.

You should be under the care of a specialist and see your doctor regularly. It's critical to follow your prescribed treatment plan. If you are struggling financially, there are several ways to afford your medication.

During the SSD claims process, the Social Security Administration also will look at your average individual monthly earnings, your work history, age, and education.

Please note – If you haven't worked long enough, or recently enough, to have paid enough into the Social Security system, you may be eligible for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) instead.
