The questions that most social security disability lawyers hear most often generally fall into several categories, such as what benefit amount someone is entitled to. One of the most common questions they hear is what disabilities qualify for Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits.

The easy answer is that any disability can qualify for benefits. The hard answer is that any disability can be denied benefits. The Social Security Administration (SSA) really does look at each case individually. Agents are expected to review each case on its own merits and make a fair judgment as to whether the individual is entitled to benefits. This means that two people with the same disorder or condition may receive different judgments. It also means that someone with a severe anxiety disorder may be approved while someone suffering from cancer may be denied.

There are certain diseases and conditions that are more likely to be approved. These are known as compassionate allowances and require less documentation and evaluation in order to be approved. They are also fast tracked by the SSA for review, so that decisions can be made quickly. However, even these claims can be denied, so patients need to be aware of the requirements when filing.

Ultimately, anything from muscle and immune diseases to mental illness to neurological conditions can qualify for social security disability benefits. The patient just needs to be able to prove, to the satisfaction of SSA guidelines, that the condition prevents them from working.

There are some moments when science and art become indistinguishable from each other. It can happen in chemistry, in physics, and it can also certainly happen in law. The moments when they do begin to resemble each other seem to come from a much earlier time, when the origins of science were inextricably connected to the origins of art .

For today’s lawyers, whether they practice at the university, or they’re practicing Las Vegas law in the field, as it were, there are still moments when this chasm turns into a bridge. When science is based on certain fixed principles, it certainly applies to law, by following the laws that have been set out before. But there are also moments when law can determine meaning, and new meanings for new moments, and this is when it moves into the realm of art.

Of course, for most of the cases that come into daily law practice, a lawyer in Sacramento, or someone working as an Orange County lawyer , will be dealing with the science of it. Following the rule of law is very much the same as following the rules that guide the physical universe. Drawing on the experiences that have come before, there are moments when interpretation comes into play, and at this point it’s necessary to look into intention. That’s where art begins to live.
