Social Security Disability and Headaches

You can get Social Security Disability if you suffer headaches.

Most cases involve multiple problems such as headaches, chronic back pain and fibromyalgia. And the Social Security Judge will look at all the conditions to determine whether you are disabled.

However, there are some cases where people with severe headaches can win their cases without any other health issues.

You will need medical treatment with specialists, records showing multiple emergency visits for your headaches, and a list of your headache medications.

The main area Social Security Disability Judges look at are your limitations. So you should keep track of the number of days a week you have headaches, how long they last, and how your medications affect your energy and concentration levels.
