Can i get disability from palsy disease?

It is possible to receive disability benefits for palsy disease, depending on the severity of your condition and your ability to work. To qualify for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), you must have worked long enough and paid Social Security taxes. You must also meet the Social Security Administration's (SSA) definition of disability, which means you must be unable to do any substantial gainful activity (SGA) because of your palsy.

The SSA will consider several factors when determining if you are disabled, including:

Your medical condition and its symptoms

Your age, education, and work experience

Your ability to do basic work activities, such as walking, sitting, and lifting

If you meet the SSA's definition of disability, you may be eligible for SSDI benefits. The amount of your benefits will be based on your average earnings before you became disabled.

You can apply for SSDI benefits online or by visiting your local Social Security office. The SSA will review your application and make a decision within 3 to 5 months. If your application is approved, you will start receiving benefits the month after you stopped working.

If you are denied SSDI benefits, you can appeal the decision. The appeals process can be complex, so you should consider getting help from a disability advocate or attorney.

In addition to SSDI, you may also be able to receive disability benefits from other sources, such as your employer or a private insurance company. You should check with your employer and your insurance company to see if you are eligible for any benefits.
