Hi there,
You may be eligible for benefits if your stature presents serious obstacles to working and earning money. You may want to contact your local SSA office for some more information, you can find a listing of them here: http://www.disability-benefits-help.org/content/social-security-disabil…

If she is unable to work due to complications with her stature, then she may be eligible for benefits. However, just being of shorter stature does not mean someone is eligible for benefits.

Hi Tasha,
If your stature impacts your ability to work, you may still be able to receive disability benefits. Your height would not have an impact on the SSA's determination.
Little People of America (LPA) defines dwarfism as a medical or genetic condition that usually results in an adult height of 4'10" or shorter.

Hi there,
I really could not say if they will inherit any conditions you may have, as I am not a doctor.
