It’s important to know that not everyone automatically qualified
s for disability benefits after an amputation. According to the Social
Security Administration (SSA), you must have suffered from one of the
following to qualify: amputation of both hands, amputation of one or both
lower extremities at or above the ankle, amputation of one hand and one
lower extremity at or above the ankle, or hemipelvectomy or hip disarticulation.
You’ll also need medical records when you apply.
