Common Symptoms of Osteoarthritis That Qualify for Disability Benefits
You can’t just tell Social Security you have osteoarthritis and expect benefits. You have to prove it.
Here’s what Social Security generally requires to approve a benefits claim for osteoarthritis:
- One “major peripheral weight-bearing joint,” (your hip, knee, or ankle” is affected enough to where you cannot move effectively.
OR
- Your shoulder, wrist, elbow or hand are affected enough to where you cannot perform normal movements.
Even if you don’t fit those exact standards, you still could be eligible. You’ll have to meet Social Security’s definition of “disabled”:
- Your health makes it impossible for you to work.
- You can’t switch to a new line of work.
- You’ll be out of work for at least a year.
We know this can all feel overwhelming. Our experience staff is here to answer any questions you have.
Talk to us today and we’ll evaluate your case at no charge to you.
Proving You Qualify for Social Security Disability Benefits
To win benefits, you’ll need to include documents like these in your application:
- Medical records
- Hospital reports
- Treatment details and outcomes
