How Social Security Disability Benefits Work
Throughout their careers, workers contribute to the Social Security system through payroll taxes. Social Security Disability benefits are specifically meant for those suffering from debilitating physical, mental, and/or neurological conditions so severe that they can no longer continue working.
However, even if you have a qualifying condition, securing benefits will be difficult due to the complex application process and high denial rates.

What types of disabilities may qualify you for SSD benefits?
Many conditions can make you eligible for SSD benefits. Severe physical, mental, or neurological disabilities that hinder your ability to work may meet the SSA’s criteria. Common disabilities include:
- Cardiovascular conditions
- Chronic pain
- Respiratory issues
- Cancers
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Musculoskeletal disorders
- Autoimmune diseases
- Epilepsy
- Alzheimer’s
- And more
The SSA will also consider your work history, age, and other factors when determining whether you qualify for benefits. For example, if you are over 50, you would be subject to a different set of comparatively lenient rules that make it easier to obtain ongoing benefits.
