Thyroid Gland Disorders and Social Security Disability

From goiter to cancer, the hormones produced by the thyroid gland can cause a wide array of health issues. These issues can lead to an inability to function at a capacity that enables individuals to work and make a living.

If you are living with a thyroid disorder that makes it impossible for you to perform substantial gainful activity (SGA), take steps now to learn if you are eligible for financial support through the Social Security Administration (SSA).

Obtaining Social Security Disability Insurance Benefits for a Thyroid Gland Disorder

While the thyroid gland is a part of the endocrine system, the SSA evaluates thyroid gland disorders under the bodily system that is most affected by the disorder. For example, thyroid-related weight issues are addressed under the digestive system listings.

At Schwartzapfel Partners P.C., we can help you understand which listing best fits your situation and then ensure we compile comprehensive documentation to support your Social Security Disability claim for your thyroid gland disorder. Common thyroid gland disorders that qualify for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits include:

  • Hyperthyroidism, including Graves' disease, subacute thyroiditis and toxic adenoma
  • Hypothyroidism, including Hashimoto's thyroiditis
  • Thyroid cancer
