What if you have an unusual condition or disease? Such as Marfan Syndrome or Ehlers Danlos. Does this automatically qualify you for Social Security Disability?
Social Security does not look strictly at your condition. Just because you are diagnosed with a disease does not mean you will be granted Social Security Disability.
The Social Security case reviewers and Judges focus on how your condition limits your daily activities.
They want to know about any pain or other symptoms you may have. Does it affect the use of your hands? Does it reduce your concentration?
The Judge is trying to decide whether you are able to work a job.
