SSDI Common Disabilities

The Social Security Administration (SSA) provides Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits to individuals who have a disability that prevents them from working. The SSA has a specific definition of disability, and not all disabilities qualify for SSDI benefits.

However, some of the most common disabilities that qualify for SSDI include:

1. Musculoskeletal system and connective tissue disorders, such as back injuries and arthritis.

2. Mental disorders, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia.

3. Cardiovascular conditions, such as heart failure and coronary artery disease.

4. Neurological disorders, including epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson's disease.

5. Respiratory illnesses, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma.

6. Cancer and other malignant neoplastic diseases.

7. Immune system disorders, including HIV/AIDS and lupus.

8. 
   

It's worth noting that the severity and duration of a disability, as well as the individual's age, work history, and ability to perform other types of work, are all factors that are taken into consideration when determining SSDI eligibility.
