I was just wondering if i were to qualify for social Security. I have Cerebal Palsey and epilepsy seziures. I recently turned 18 and my parents said i was able to collect social security since i was diagnosis at the age of 3. But they never did because they were my parents. But now since im growing up i think it would really help me out. I'm the only one in my family to have a disability with sezuires and epilepsy seziures. This is all new to my parents and I so i would very much appreciate the help. Please and thank you!

Hi I had a tripple authroddessi which I'm left with 3_screws in my foot will I be eligible for ssi payments
In reply to Hi I had a tripple by Juanita west (not verified)
Hi Juanita,
It is hard to say. Usually, a foot problem will not qualify for disability benefits. You would need to be able to prove that you are completely unable to preform any jobs that you are qualified for. If you are ONLY qualified for jobs where you stand, you could potentially be approved, but again, it's unlikely.
I was wondering before i go through the process of making doctors appointments (that i cant pay for) to fill out paperwork if i would even be approved. I have had migraines since I was 6 and in high school they became more frequent to everyday I have basically gone through every treatment possible since they can figure out what is causing them. To add to that around Oct 2015 I was diagnosed Rheumatoid arthritis. Is has hit me like a whirlwind with severe joint pain and bad tension headaches adding on top of my migraine pain. It took me 6 months to get into the specialist and have been on the "starter" meds methotrexate for around 2 months and no change. Each day is increasing in pain. I went from working 40 hours a week to around 7 (using fmla which im afraid i am gonna run out of fast) I am currently behind on all my bills and never wanted to be "disabled" before i turned 30. Does anyone think i would qualify? I am concerned I would be denied since I just started on treatment for my RA.

Am i qualified for receiving SSI again after an appeal,which rendered a partially favorable judgement which incidentally was ruled one yr.later then the first ruling?
In reply to Am i qualified for receiving by Mike K. (not verified)
Hi Mike,
You may be qualified for SSI benefits if the judge did not grant you a approval of a "closed period". That's when you are granted benefits after it is determined you were disabled for a period of time but are no longer disabled.

My daughter is 14, she has diabetes, hypertension, and just found out she is post menopause. Does she qualify for benefits?
In reply to My daughter is 14, she has by Kathy Smith (not verified)
Hi Kathy,
It's possible that she qualifies, but it may be hard to win that case because she's so young and hypertension is only found in the adulthood Blue Book. I would highly recommend getting in contact with a personal injury attorney, who could evaluate her claim. You can do so here: http://www.disability-benefits-help.org/form/free-disability-evaluation
Hello.. I have a arthritic knee, epilepsy, anxiety, and a slipped disk between c6 and c7. I have honestly tried to keep working. But it seems like lately either anxiety or a seizure takes over. My boss is very understanding but the emotional toll is tearing me apart.
