Social Security Disability FAQs
I have several health problems, but no single one disables me. It's the combination that disables me. Can I get Social Security?
Social Security is supposed to consider the combination of impairments that you have.
The combined effect of your impairments is important.
Many Social Security disability claimants have more than one health problem. The combined effects of all of your health problems must be considered by Social Security, because it's frequently the case that none of your problems disable you when they're standing alone.
It's more often the case that the combined problems you have make you disabled. So, it's important that you list all of the conditions that affect your ability to work when applying for disability benefits.
