Qualifying Social Security Disability Medical Conditions

Social Security Disability Disabling Conditions

SSA lists some medical conditions so severe that you are automatically entitled to Social Security Disability benefits. But even if your condition is not on the list or does not meet each and every element of the listed condition, you still can be considered disabled if your condition or a combination of conditions are of equal severity to a listed condition.
