- Q. If you are approved for state disability medicaid in indiana can it help your disability claim with ssdi?
- A: I practice in NJ so I am not familiar with Indiana's regulations but the general rule for Social Security is they are not bound by disability determinations made by other government agencies. However, I have in the past used other government disability determinations as additional evidence to supplement the medical records.
- Q. When does social security run out
- A: You will have to clarify your question since Social Securtiy administers multiple benefits, but if you are referring to Social Security Disability benefits based on your own work record, then benefits continue so long as you continue to meet Social Security's definition for disability (which includes not engaging in substantial gainful activity) and then when you reach full retirement age, the benefits are then converted to retirement benefits.
- Q. Does Chronic Constipation qualify for SSDI for Child?
- A: Any medical conditions for children can be found to be disabling. However, the medical conditions must result in marked or extreme limitations. Based on the information you provided, two hospitalizations in two months could be extreme if the medical records show that frequent hospitalizations are expected going forward or that the hospitalizations were for more than a couple of days at a time. There is no hard figure on the number of hospitalizations that are frequent enough to be considered disabling. You mentioned SSDI, but I believe you are looking at SSI which is Supplemental Security Income. This program also has to take into account the parents' income and resources and if it is too high, it does not matter how severe the medical conditions are because your child could not meet the financial requirements. This information is general nature and you may want to consult with a local attorney.
