Each year, the SSA releases a list of qualifying illnesses, injuries, and disorders. An injured person must have one or more to qualify for benefits. Common qualifying disorders include but are not limited to musculoskeletal disorders, neurological disorders, mental disorders, cancer, and cardiovascular disorders. To qualify, claimants must submit medical proof of their disorder to the SSA. Collecting a variety of evidence, such as documentation of diagnosis or treatment, could help support a claim and increase the chance of approval.
