Mental Disabilities

Mental and emotional health issues can play a major role in impairing one’s ability to successfully carry out the duties a job requires. If you or someone you love is experiencing mental or emotional health issues, and is unable to work because of them, disability benefits may be available through the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program.

SSDI, also known as SSD, offers assistance to those who are no longer able to work because of a disabling condition. There are a wide range of conditions that a person can receive SSDI benefits for. Mental and emotional health issues can be qualifying conditions.

Building Strong SSDI Applications

The key to a successful SSD claim lies in securing a diagnosis from a treating psychiatrist or psychologist. The Social Security Administration is very particular about not only what information it requires, but also how it is presented. Some estimates place the percentage of initial SSD applications that are rejected at over 60 percent. Attorney Robert A. Whitlow understands how to help your doctor present the information necessary for a successful claim, such as does your mental health issue affect your ability to:

• Handle pressure
• Interact appropriately with peers, supervisors and the public
• Meet deadlines
