Examples of qualifying conditions include musculoskeletal disorders, cardiovascular issues, mental disorders, cancer, and autoimmune diseases.

Common SSD Claim Denial Reasons

SSD claims are frequently denied due to insufficient medical evidence, incomplete applications, or failure to meet eligibility criteria.

Understanding these common pitfalls can help applicants avoid roadblocks in the SSD application process.
