5 Ways Heart Disease May Qualify for Social Security Disability Benefits

Cardiovascular conditions, such as heart disease, can become disabling. The symptoms experienced can sometimes be managed but other times, it may be serious enough that it qualifies an individual for disability benefits. If your condition prevents you from working, then you may be able to collect Social Security disability benefits, which can help offset your lost wages.

5 Ways Heart Disease Lands Social Security Disability Benefits

Here are 5 ways someone with heart disease may be eligible for Social Security disability benefits. 

• 50% or greater narrowing of at least 2 non-bypassed coronary arteries;
• 50% or greater narrowing of a long segment of non-bypassed coronary artery; 
• 50% or greater narrowing of a non-bypassed left main coronary artery;
• 70% or greater narrowing of a bypass graft vessel; and
• 70% or greater narrowing of another non-bypassed coronary artery.

Determining if you are eligible for disability benefits will require thorough medical records. A Miami-Dade County Social Security disability lawyer can help gather that documentation and determine if you should proceed with filing an application. A lawyer can also help if you were denied disability benefits and would like to appeal that decision.
