Bob: There is a "book," that is, a listing of impairments. If you have one of the listed impairments you are supposed to be automatically found disabled. But none of the listed impairments name a certain procedure, such as "wrapped aorta" or "mechanical heart valve" and say you are disabled if you have had that procedure. Each listing describes a set of mostly objective findings that would establish pretty severe limits of function. The majority of people who win disability cases do not have impairments severe enough to meet a listing.
It is rare that the medical records as they exist would show that you meet a listing; usually you have to get extra information to prove that you do. And, even if you do, it is often hard to get the Administration to admit it.

Yes, definitely. Anyone with an ejection fraction of 10% is disabled under the listings. Disability is so clear, you might try the first time without an attorney. If you are denied for some inexplicable reason, hire one immediately and appeal. |

I am deaf. I have been working for 19 years almost. I'm have arthritis. As being deaf, do I get social seritury for my hearing impaired? I was born deaf. |

If you are deaf and stop working, you should be able to get benefits without even having to hire an attorney. That does not mean you should stop, of course! |
