What is a disability according to the SSA (Social Security
Administration)? In a literal sense it
is any condition that is deemed severe enough to impede a person’s ability to
work and earn a livable wage. That does
not mean totally or permanently disabled, but rather unable to “make a living”
through the normal course of holding down a job. So make sure that you understand the proper
definition of this from a qualified resource.
To be eligible to qualify to receive social security or SSI
(Supplemental Security Income) several different criteria must apply. Among those, an individual’s condition must
be severe. This is usually defined by
debilitation in daily living. For
children it is better defined as the ability to interact in age-appropriate
activities. It is also important to note
that the condition must have persisted for at least the last 12 months.
There are many important considerations to be addressed when
applying for social security disability.
