Leg, Knee & Ankle Disorders & Injuries

When it comes to injuries or other disorders affecting your lower extremities, the length of time it takes to recover can affect whether you will be eligible to receive Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits. Without complications, a broken leg does not take much time to heal and does not require extensive time away from work. However, if you have become so limited that you cannot perform your job or one like it, you should consider pursuing SSDI benefits.

Qualifying Leg, Knee and Ankle Disorders and Injuries

Ongoing medical conditions such as osteoporosis may qualify you for disability benefits. In addition, the following may also enable you to receive SSDI benefits:

Like all other musculoskeletal injuries, your injury must limit your ability to ambulate, or walk, effectively. This limitation includes your ability to start, maintain or complete activities. This limitation must last, or have lasted, for at least 12 months.
