Nerve Disorders

Nerve disorders, also known as neurological disorders, are recognized by the Social Security Administration (SSA) as qualifying conditions for receiving Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits. However, the SSA evaluates each case individually to determine whether or not the effects of the nerve disorder or the treatment would preclude you from doing any kind of work for a period of at least twelve months.

In the Disability Evaluation Under Social Security manual (also known as the Blue Book), The Social Security Administration classifies list a variety of nerve disorders including epilepsy (both convulsive epilepsy and non-convulsive epilepsy), brain tumors, Parkinsonian Syndrome, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy and more. When evaluating individual cases, the SSA considers a number of factors including the degree of impairment, disorganization of motor function, and frequency and duration of exacerbations (for conditions that are episodic in nature).
