Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and SSDI

The Social Security Administration (SSA) categorizes post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as an anxiety-related disorder and is defined as "recurrent and intrusive recollections of a traumatic experience, which are a source of marked distress." This disorder is characterized by re-experiencing, avoidance and hyperarousal symptoms, including flashbacks, difficulty remembering the event and feeling tense. If these symptoms describe how you are feeling, or if you have already been diagnosed with PTSD, you may be eligible for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits.

The SSA's Requirements Regarding Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and SSDI

Individuals suffering from PTSD are eligible for disability insurance benefits only if their disorder keeps them from performing a substantial gainful activity (SGA). The SSA sees you as having met this SGA requirement if you earn more than a certain amount of money each month. The amount you must meet or exceed is based upon your level of disability.

It takes an attorney who has an extensive knowledge of the SSA's guidelines and requirements to create a comprehensive claim for disability benefits. If you are considering filing for SSDI or Supplemental Security Income (SSI), seek out experienced legal representation.
