The Social Security Administration has published what are called “Listings”, which are impairments with VERY specific criteria. If you have been diagnosed with the disease or injury AND your condition meets the very specific criteria, then yes, you will be found disabled. However, it’s important to understand that there are still other criteria to being found disabled, such as having sufficient recent work, being off of work, following doctors orders, staying away from drugs and alcohol, etc. For instance, if you have Crohn’s disease (also known as ulcerative colitis or irritable bowel syndrome), you will NOT be found automatically disabled unless you also have certain documented complications (such as hospitalizations for obstructions of your bowels, anemia with certain blood levels, etc.). It’s important to remember that it’s not as easy as just having a diagnosis! It’s best to hire a local attorney who specializes in Social Security disability to help you with your claim.
