Can’t work through the pain ― and can’t pay your bills?
Seek Disability for Scoliosis.
Scoliosis is an abnormal, sideways curve in the spine that can cause a “C” or an “S” shape. It affects children and adults and can cause one shoulder, rib cage or hip to be higher than the other.
Some people may suffer few effects from scoliosis, while others may experience breathing problems, chronic back pain, or spine damage. In severe cases, scoliosis can force you to stop working, making it difficult to pay bills and take care of yourself and your family.
If you are expected to be out of work for at least a year and are struggling to make ends meet, you could be could be eligible for Social Security Disability benefits. Don’t know where to start?

Disability for Scoliosis isn’t a sure thing.
Qualifying for Disability for Scoliosis is not easy. The diagnosis alone is not enough to trigger Disability benefits. Medical records are crucial and must show that your scoliosis is so severe that it is impacting your ability to breathe, your heart function, your mental health or causing severe spine issues.
For example, individuals suffering from scoliosis may be declared disabled by the Social Security Administration if they have one of the following issues with their spine:
- Nerve root compression that causes muscle weakness, pain, or limits your ability to move.
- Inflammation of the membrane surrounding the spine, which causes pain or requires you to change your position more than once every two hours.
- Narrowing of the spine that causes chronic pain and weakness and limits your ability to walk.
If you do not meet these specific criteria, but can show that scoliosis is causing other major issues that make it impossible to work, you could still be eligible for Disability for Scoliosis. Again, medical records are key. The seasoned staff at McDonald Law Firm have experience gathering the necessary medical information, preparing the paperwork and filing strong, solid Disability claims.
Denied Disability for Scoliosis? Don’t get discouraged.
Receiving a denial letter from the Social Security Administration can be devastating, but don’t let it get you down. More than 65 percent of Disability claims are denied during the first, initial application level, so you are not alone. The good news is that this a multi-step process and the next step would be to promptly file an appeal. This is time sensitive, as you only have 60 days to appeal.Save
