I am 62 years old. I have shrank from 5'2" to 4'11-3/4". I have psoriatic arthritis and severe osteoarthritis with spinal stenosis. If I continue to lose height, would I qualify for disability? I still work but struggle to do so.
Hi there,
While you may not qualify based on height, you may qualify based on your current conditions, and it may be a good idea to apply for benefits.
However, many people are denied initially and it may be a good idea to speak with a disability advocate or attorney. If you fill out the form on the left, or go here: http://www.disability-benefits-help.org/form/free-disability-evaluation
we can have one reach out to you.
