Renal Failure Disability: Social Security Disability Claims for Kidney Failure

The Truth About Renal Failure and Disability Benefits

Renal failure—also known as kidney failure—occurs when your kidneys can no longer effectively filter waste and toxins from the bloodstream. While there is a common belief that a diagnosis of permanent renal failure guarantees automatic approval for Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits, this is unfortunately not true. Like any other condition, renal failure claims must be thoroughly documented and meet the strict criteria set by the Social Security Administration (SSA).

At Binder & Binder®, we’ve helped thousands of clients navigate this complex and often frustrating process.

What You Need to Prove Your Claim

To receive SSD benefits for renal failure, your medical records must clearly demonstrate the severity and persistence of your condition. Required documentation includes:

• A detailed history of your kidney disorder

• Records of all physician visits related to renal function

• Information on dialysis, medications, or other treatments

• Evidence of how your body has responded to treatment

• Statements from treating physicians regarding your ability to work

The SSA is particularly focused on how your condition affects your ability to perform daily activities and maintain gainful employment. Incomplete or inconsistent documentation can result in unnecessary delays—or even denials.
