Categories of Social Security's list of impairments

Below is the Social Security medical listings categories.  You will find individual medical conditions listed in them.  An important thing to note is that just because your condition has the same name as one on the list does not mean Social Security will find that you meet a listing and find you disabled.  In order to meet a listing, you must meet ALL of the requirements of that listing.  Keep your eyes open for words like "and", "or", and statements that you must have at least so many of this or that.  The listings can be tricky and you may think you meet one of them but you might not.  You can also equal a listing and be found disabled.  This can be even trickier.  To equal a listing Social Security will decide if you don't meet the exact criteria for a given medical listing are you given your condition(s) just as disabled as an individual who does.  This is not the exact test but gives you an idea of how it works.  It usually requires a doctor to say that you equal a listing.  If one is to meet or equal a listed impairment, it requires a great deal of medical evidence proving this. 

So, if you think you may meet one of the Social Security listings make sure you have all the medical evidence that the listing requires.  From my experience, most people, who have a condition that clearly meets the listing, will be found disabled at application but only if all the medicals are in to Social Security.  
Social Security separates impairments into 14 categories.  To view a particular condition click on the category you think that medical condition would be in.  Then scroll down until you find your particular impairment.
