The Social Security Administration has reported it will review and update the qualifying criteria for disability benefits for people with neurological disorders. Social Security has different listings for what it considers to be disabling impairments. If a claimant meets or equals one of Social Security’s listed impairments, they will be awarded disability benefits. Thus, if Social Security expands the criteria for neurological disorders, this is good news for claimants with neurological disabilities.
It is important to be knowledgeable about Social Security updates and listing criteria to successfully appeal Social Security disability cases.
