During American Heart Month, Allsup highlights how serious heart and cardiovascular conditions can qualify workers for SSDI benefits when symptoms make employment difficult. Cardiovascular disease claims one life every 34 seconds in the U.S., with 2,510 deaths daily attributed to CVD. The SSA evaluates disability claims based on functional limitations, not just medical diagnoses. Many are approved through a medical-vocational allowance when symptoms prevent work.

Surviving a cardiac event may not mean a full return to work, as symptoms like fatigue and dizziness can interfere with job demands. The SSA evaluates cardiovascular disability claims using its Listing of Impairments, including chronic heart failure and ischemic heart disease. A specific Blue Book listing is not required for SSDI approval.

SSDI eligibility depends on functional capacity, not job title, and individuals must have a severe, lasting medical condition and sufficient work credits to qualify. Allsup provides guidance for navigating the complex SSDI process, emphasizing the importance of documenting limitations accurately. Eligibility is based on functional capacity and evidence of work limitations.

Allsup offers SSDI representation and Disability Financial Solutions® to connect individuals with necessary resources. SSDI exists to support those whose health conditions prevent them from working, with eligibility determined by functional capacity and work limitations. Allsup specialists provide guidance for first-time applicants or appeals.
