Qualifying conditions

Does my condition qualify for disability?

Social Security maintains a manual of impairments — everyone calls it the Blue Book — that sets out what medical evidence each condition needs. Meeting a listing isn't the only path to approval, but it's the fastest one. Here's what the book actually says.

Endocrine

Immune and multi-system

Mental

Musculoskeletal

Neurological

Respiratory
