Proving Disability For The SSA

As with any disabling medical condition, the Social Security Administration (SSA) requires that you prove disability in order to receive benefits for sleep disorders. Under the guidelines of the federal programs administered by SSA, the definition of “disability” is very specific. To determine if you are unable to work, they will assess your physical and mental abilities according to a Residual Functional Capacity (RFC) form. Many people with sleep disorders suffer from other medical conditions as well. It may be advisable to combine impairments in your claim for disability benefits.

Plano Social Security Disability Claims: Sleep Disorders

There are two federal programs administered by the Social Security Administration to provide benefits to disabled individuals. Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) pays benefits to qualified applicants who have worked at least 5 of the last 10 years and paid Social Security taxes. Supplemental Security Income(SSI) is paid out of the general tax fund, not Social Security, and is based on the needs of the individual.
