The stress and frustration of this situation will only grow when it’s a disability, whether physical or mental, that prevents you from working. A huge challenged faced by many in the disabled community is finding ways to support yourself.

Qualifying for Social Security Benefits
There are many ways someone could qualify for Social Security benefits. These benefits cover a range of disabilities and obstacles that could keep someone from being able to work and earn income. While many people are denied the benefits of Social Security assistance, there are also many others that are successful in their application. The disabilities that can make someone eligible to receive benefits include, but are not limited to the following:
- Mental disorders
- Cardiovascular system disorders
- Immune system disorders
- Neurological disorders
- Seeing or hearing disorders
If you or a family member is facing any of the following disabilities, or a number of others, you could be qualified to receive benefits. You could also be able to receive benefits if you are caring for a family member with a disability, which keeps you from being able to work, or if your deceased spouse was eligible for the benefits. Eligibility varies with circumstance.
