But, it is definitely a good thing these benefits exist so that people can survive even with a major disability. People, often want to know “Am I disabled enough to collect disability benefits?” We have created this short five point checklist to help you decide if this route is for you.

  1. Are You Working? If you are currently working and able to pay your bills, you probably cannot qualify for these benefits.
  2. Is Your Condition Considered Severe? If your condition is not preventing you from working it will probably not be considered severe and the SSA will find that you are not disabled.
  3. Is Your Condition Considered Disabling by the SSA? We understand this is a bit vague but you can find more information about this topic here: Social Security Disabling Conditions
