Physical Conditions That May Qualify You for Social Security Disability Benefits

Fibromyalgia
A disease that has been newly recognized as being a disabling condition is fibromyalgia. Characterized by wide spread, chronic pain and having a painful response to non-painful stimuli, fibromyalgia diagnoses are increasing across the country. Individuals who suffer from fibromyalgia are often unable to hold steady employment and normally function in their daily lives. It is for these reasons that SSD benefits are now being granted to fibromyalgia sufferers.
