Can You Get Social Security Disability Insurance For A Mental Health Condition?
Yes, obtaining SSDI for a mental health condition may be possible if you are fully disabled from working for at least a year and meet the other SSDI qualifications.
The application process for SSDI requires thorough documentation and persuasive evidence that demonstrates the severity and ongoing impact of your mental health condition. This documentation often includes comprehensive medical records, detailed treatment histories, statements from treating physicians and sometimes expert opinions from mental health professionals.
It is crucial to present this evidence effectively to illustrate how your condition prevents you from maintaining any substantial gainful activity. Securing SSDI for mental health issues can be complex due to the nuanced nature of mental illnesses and the rigorous evidence required to prove them debilitating.
Mental health conditions can vary widely in symptoms and effects, making it essential to tailor each application to the individual’s specific circumstances. Moreover, the Social Security Administration may require periodic reviews of your condition, adding another layer of complexity to maintaining your benefits.
However, with our experienced attorneys guiding you through each step of the application and review process, there is hope for a successful outcome. Our mental health Social Security Disability lawyers understand the challenges and are prepared to help you gather the necessary documentation, build a compelling case and advocate on your behalf for the benefits you need.
Common Mental Health Conditions That May Qualify For SSDI
Various mental health conditions might qualify an individual for SSDI such as:
- Severe depression
- Anxiety disorders
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Neurological disorders
- Schizophrenia
- Bipolar disorder
To qualify for SSDI, these conditions must prevent you from maintaining any gainful employment for at least one year. Each case is unique, and our mental health Social Security Disability lawyers can help determine if your condition meets the SSDI criteria.
How An SSDI Lawyer For Mental Health Can Help
Many SSDI applications are initially denied even though the person has a legitimate claim. This is particularly true for claims involving mental health. A mental health Social Security Disability lawyer can be crucial in these scenarios. If your claim is denied, we can assist in the appeals process, which involves gathering additional evidence, preparing for a hearing and representing you before an SSDI judge. Our attorneys at Rummell, Curry & Regginello Law Firm have significant experience with these appeals, and we believe we can improve the chances of your claim being approved.
