To qualify, the condition must be backed by medical proof that a Social Security Disability applicant will be unable to work for a period of more than 12 months.

The SSA reviews each applicant’s submission on a case-by-case basis,and many applicants have been awarded benefits when multiple

impairments, taken together, meet the SSA’s definition of disability.

The SSA will consider you disabled if:

- You cannot do the work you did before;

- It decides you cannot adjust to other workbecause of your medical condition; and

- Your disability has lasted or is expected tolast for at least one year or result in death.
