Yes, it is possible to receive Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits for a medical diagnosis of a cardiovascular disease. You do not have to suffer an impairment or disability caused by a heart attack.
What Do You Need to Show to Qualify?
If you have been diagnosed with a heart condition of any kind, it is important to keep accurate medical records of your diagnosis and treatment from your doctor.
If you are no longer able to work because of your cardiovascular impairment, or have been told that you will soon progress toward a disability, talk to a member of the SSDI claims team at Berger and Green in Pittsburgh. We are recognized as a leading SSDI and SSI law firm representing clients throughout Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ohio. We have helped thousands of people file a successful claim or successfully appeal a denied claim.
Services Throughout Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ohio
Many types of cardiovascular disorders and conditions qualify for disability benefits under Social Security Disability Insurance, including:
- Cardiac arrest, heart attack
- Chronic heart failure
- Recurrent arrhythmias
- Symptomatic congenital heart disease
- Heart transplant
- Aneurysm or aorta of major branches
- Chronic venous insufficiency
- Peripheral arterial disease
Start Your Claim as Soon as You Have Been Diagnosed
Under rules of SSDI, it must appear that you will not be able to work for at least 12 months. This does not mean you must be off your job for one year before filing. It is important to get your claim into the system as soon as possible. Begin treatment with your doctor and keep accurate records. When your claim comes up for review by the disability approval panel, you might be eligible for immediate benefits, if approved.
