You cannot qualify for disability payments in Farmington, Fayetteville, Springdale, Prairie Grove, Winslow, or anywhere else in Arkansas simply by being unable to perform the duties of your old job or by virtue of your own definition of your disability. The Social Security Administration (SSA) is precise and specific in its descriptions of the impairments that qualify for disability.

What are the listed disabilities under disability laws?

To qualify for Social Security Disability benefits, you must have at least one of the conditions in the Listing of Impairments put out by the SSA. The SSA listing of covered disabilities for adults includes diseases and disorders in fourteen categories, as follows:

Are there requirements for disability duration?

Most of the disabilities on the Listing of Impairments are permanent or expected to result in death. For some conditions, the listing includes a specific statement of duration of disability that you need to qualify for benefits. For all other listed conditions, the evidence must show that the impairment already lasted, or medical professionals expect it to last, for a continuous period of at least one year.

A skilled attorney from Martin & Kieklak Law Firm can help you determine whether your social security disability is covered and whether you meet duration requirements.
