How Merit Disability Law Can Help You Secure Benefits
Navigating the Social Security Disability (SSD) process can be overwhelming, especially when you’re dealing with medical conditions that significantly impact your ability to work. At Merit Disability, we understand the challenges you face and are dedicated to helping you secure the benefits you deserve. Whether you’re struggling with a physical or psychological condition, our team has the experience and expertise to guide you through every step of the process.
UNDERSTANDING:
Medical Conditions & Disability Claims
Social Security Disability benefits are awarded based on your inability to perform substantial gainful activity due to a medically determinable impairment. Claims may be approved due to a single condition or a combination of impairments. Factors such as age, education, and work history are also taken into account when determining eligibility.
The Social Security Administration (SSA) has a list of impairments, known as the Blue Book, which outlines medical conditions that automatically qualify for benefits if certain criteria are met. However, even if your condition isn’t listed, you may still qualify by proving that your condition prevents you from working.

- Substance Abuse: While substance abuse alone is not a qualifying condition, it can be considered if it exacerbates another impairment.
Chronic Pain & Systemic Conditions
- Fibromyalgia: Proving this condition often requires detailed medical records and a well-documented history of symptoms.
- Lupus and Autoimmune Disorders: These conditions can cause widespread pain and fatigue, making full-time work unmanageable.
- Diabetes: Severe complications such as neuropathy or vision loss may qualify you for benefits.
Medical Side Effects & Special Circumstances
