Most Common Causes for Social Security Disability Claims
Each year thousands of Social Security Disability Claims are filed Illinois, whether for injuries or illnesses. Many people suffer from the same ailment. There are many types of disabilities that are the most common that people file a claim for.
Arthritis and musculoskeletal problems are a very big cause of SSDI claims. They are the main issues that cause people to become disabled for a long period of time. One third of all disability cases fall into this category. Not only is Arthritis one reason that keeps people from working, but bad backs, bad hips, and other bone and muscle issues also force people to rely on Social Security Disability Benefits.
Believe it or not, Diabetes, although manageable can cause people to stay out of the work force. The medical costs alone can cause hardship, but then when you tack on not being able to work, people find themselves struggling. This disease is one of the fastest rising disability claims.
Many people right here in Illinois each year are diagnosed with a form of cancer. Not only is the disease itself crippling, but also the medications, radiation and chemotherapy treatments, and surgery can make it nearly impossible to work. Gallbladder Cancer, Liver Cancer, and Lung Cancer are just a few of the cancers that are listed on the Social Security Administrations Compassionate Allowances List (CAL).
Another reason that causes people to drop out of the workforce can be Mental Health Problems. Although, these can be treatable many suffering from depression, bi-polar disorder, Schizophrenia, and Autism are unable to become gainfully employed. Many of the claims that the Illinois Social Security Administration evaluates pertain to mental health problems.
Nervous System Disorders such as Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s Disease, ALS, Alzheimer’s, and Epilepsy are also a cause of SSDI claims in the United States. These and other diseases that affect the brain or nerves can keep a person from working, or cause them to have to quit their job. Many of these disorders can now also be found on the CAL list.
When many hear Social Security Disability they think of injuries caused by accidents. Believe it or not injuries cause by accidents only account for 10% of the applications that are filed with the SSA in Illinois. Many do not think of Heart Disease or Stroke though, when they hear of SSDI. These chronic conditions can cause people to suffer their entire lives, not just after a heart attack or stroke.
Those that suffer from any of these conditions can generally get their claim approved if they are found on the CAL, or found in the SSA’s Blue Book. The Blue Book is a list of impairments that the Social Security Administration in Illinois considers a disability that can keep one from working.
