Can I Qualify For SSD Benefits Due To Obesity?
Even though not expressly listed as a qualifying disorder by the Social Security Administration, obesity can hamper your ability to work, presenting you with many difficulties. If you find yourself unable to work due to obesity or obesity related issues, you may be entitled to Social Security disability benefits.
Filing A Social Security Disability Obesity Claim
There are many disorders related to obesity for which Social Security benefits may be awarded, including:
At the Zen Law Firm, attorneys can help acquire the medical records and other information needed to get your claim approved. The Social Security Administration may be ready to believe that you can find more sedentary work to do, or that there is a potential for weight loss through simple changes (and thus, deny your claim). Social Security Disability lawyers at our firm are also prepared to help you counter these obstacles if they arise.
