Who is entitled to Social Security Disability benefits?
If you are not working now, and have a serious illness or disability which is expected to last at least twelve months, you may be entitled to Social Security Disability benefits. To be eligible for Social Security Disability benefits, you must have a condition that is considered “severe” under Social Security guidelines. That means that the condition must prevent you from performing basic work activities. Severe impairments include, but are not limited to, mental disorders, multiple sclerosis, lung diseases, severe heart disease, uncontrolled diabetes, AIDS, blindness/deafness, spine, bone and joint disorders, and cancer.
