Social Security Disability Lawyers in Michigan

Assisting Individuals With All Types of SSD Benefits Issues

If you’ve been injured or have a serious medical condition, it can be difficult to earn a living. Disability is more common than you might think—it is estimated that a 20-year-old worker has about a 30% chance of becoming disabled before reaching retirement age. Losing a job because of injury or illness can be devastating to you and your family.

Fortunately, Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits are available to many people in this situation. Grewal Law PLLC can help determine if you qualify for SSDI benefits, help you apply, and assist you if you need to appeal a determination. Obtaining SSDI benefits can be a complicated and time-consuming process. Let our Social Security Disability attorneys in Michigan help you navigate the system.

Which Medical Conditions Qualify You for SSD Benefits?

The Social Security Administration (SSA) has what is known as the “blue book,” which outlines the various medical conditions that qualify an individual for SSDI benefits. In order to be eligible for SSDI benefits, your condition must match one listed in the blue book or be accepted as “equivalent” to one of the listed conditions.

The most recently updated version of the blue book (updated in 2018) includes the following conditions:

• Heart failure, cardiovascular disease, coronary artery disease, and other heart conditions
• Back injuries and other types of musculoskeletal conditions
• Respiratory diseases, including asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
• Neurological disorders, including Parkinson’s disease, MS (multiple sclerosis), and epilepsy
• Mental health disorders, such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and more
• HIV/AIDS, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and other similar immune system disorders
• Loss of hearing and/or vision
• Liver disease, IBS/IBD, and other digestive conditions
• Sjogren’s Syndrome, Marfan Syndrome, and other syndromes
• Cancer
• Kidney disease

This list is not exhaustive. You may still qualify for SSDI benefits if you have a disabling injury or condition not listed here or if you have a condition that is equivalent to one of the accepted conditions. Visit the SSA’s website to view the full list of conditions and disorders listed in the blue book.
