Some of these conditions occur naturally as we age, but others can be the result of a work-related accident or some other cause. Some conditions that may qualify for disability include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Degenerative disc disease<\/li>\n<li>Arachnoiditis<\/li>\n<li>Spondylitis<\/li>\n<li>Osteoarthritis<\/li>\n<li>Rheumatoid Arthritis<\/li>\n<li>Herniated discs<\/li>\n<li>Nerve root compression<\/li>\n<li>Scoliosis<\/li>\n<li>Spinal stenosis<\/li>\n<li>Spondylolisthesis<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Medical Evidence in Support of Your Claim<\/h2>\n<p>Whatever the cause of your back pain, when applying for either SSI or SSDI you will need to provide medical documentation to support your claim for benefits. Medical evidence you\u2019ll need to include with your application for disability benefits include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>X-rays<\/li>\n<li>MRIs and CAT scans<\/li>\n<li>Reflex tests<\/li>\n<li>Straight leg raise test<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Along with these tests, you should also include any doctor\u2019s notes regarding your physical limitations, prescriptions, notes from past employers about your ability to work, and any other documentation from your medical records that might support your claim for benefits.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the SSA may order an additional medical evaluation at their expense to evaluate your condition and the severity of your symptoms.<\/p>\n<h2>Benefits Provided Through the Medical-Vocational Allowance<\/h2>\n<p>If your back pain is not caused by one of the conditions listed in the SSA\u2019s Blue Book, you may still qualify for disability benefits using the medical-vocational alliance. With this approach to seeking disability benefits, your symptoms, condition, and functional limitations are taken into consideration, along with your age, level of education, transferable skills, and work experience.<\/p>\n<p>As part of this application process, a residual functioning capacity (RFC) form must be completed. Among other things, on this form your physician must indicate how often you must change positions, if you\u2019re unable to stand for more than an hour or more than two hours, how far you\u2019re able to walk, and if you require assistance with a cane or crutches to walk.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, information must be provided on medications you\u2019re taking and their side effects, such as drowsiness or dizziness.<\/p>\n<p>You should also include information on any other medical conditions you have and how these affect your daily life and your ability to work.<\/p>\n<p>When considering granting disability benefits through the medical-vocational allowance, the SSA will determine if you have skills that might be transferable to another type of work that will enable you to continue gainful employment. If it\u2019s ultimately determined that you are unable to perform any kind of work for a year, you can qualify for social security disability benefits for your debilitating back pain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Back Conditions that Qualify for Disability In its Blue Book, the Social Security Administration (SSA) lists many of the conditions contributing to chronic back pain that may qualify for either SSI or SSDI.
