Medical Conditions and Social Security Disability

The government has a definition of disability. To qualify, your disability or impairment must meet the requirements outlined by the government. The Social Security listing book describes many conditions ranging from high blood pressure and arthritis to heart failure, asthma and depression.

Many folks still have a hard time winning a disability approval, even if they meet the requirements. To qualify most people need to show that they can't perform their past work or other types of work because of their disability. If you are trying to get Social Security Disability benefits, you also should have worked long enough (usually for five out of the last 10 years).
