Neurological Disorder Disability: Social Security Disability Claims for Neurological Conditions

When Your Neurological Condition Makes Working Impossible

If you're living with a neurological disorder that has progressed to the point where working is no longer possible, you're not alone—and you’re not without options. Whether the symptoms involve pain, mobility loss, or cognitive impairment, neurological conditions can be debilitating and are often recognized by the Social Security Administration (SSA) as qualifying for disability benefits.

At the Law Office of Charles E. Binder and Harry J. Binder, we help individuals who can no longer work due to neurological issues file for and win Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits. We guide you through the process, gather documentation, and deal with the government—so you don’t have to.

Conditions That May Qualify for SSD Benefits

We assist clients with a wide range of neurological disorders, including:

• Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

• Seizure Disorders (including epilepsy)

• Myasthenia Gravis

• Peripheral Neuropathy

• Stroke (Cerebrovascular Accident, CVA)

• Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

• Neurological impairments resulting from spinal disorders

These conditions often involve persistent symptoms such as pain, weakness, loss of coordination, numbness, fatigue, and cognitive challenges. For some, mobility may be reduced to the point of requiring a walker or wheelchair; for others, cognitive processing or communication may be affected.

SSA’s Definition of Disability

The SSA defines a disability as a medical condition that prevents an individual from engaging in substantial gainful activity for at least 12 months. This includes the inability to perform past work and an inability to adjust to new work due to medical limitations. Neurological conditions often meet these criteria, especially when symptoms are well-documented and ongoing.
