What Neurological Disorders Qualify for SSDI Benefits?

NEUROLOGICAL DISORDERS

For any disability determination, medical record review is vital. The Security Administration (SSA) relies on the guidelines in their Blue Book to determine whether a person’s disability is severe enough to qualify them for disability benefits.

People with neurological disorders may be eligible for SSDI benefits.

To be approved for disability benefits, the neurological disorder must be expected to last at least a year or to end in the patient’s death. Major symptoms to be documented in the medical record for neurological condition include tremors and involuntary movements, paralysis, muscle weakness, and more.

Some of the neurological disabilities that may qualify for disability benefits are: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis Cerebral palsy Degenerative diseases such as Friedreich’s ataxia, spinocerebellar degeneration Brain tumors Central nervous system vascular accidents Cerebral trauma

Multiple sclerosis Epilepsy Myasthenia gravis Muscular dystrophy Parkinson’s disease Poliomyelitis Syringomyelia Peripheral neuropathies Spinal cord or nerve root lesions
