When working with your Muse Disability Services legal representative, we will determine together if you are eligible for SSDI in Gulfport, MS. We will examine if you are unable to work due to one or more of the following conditions:

    • Anxiety disorders
    • Arthritis
    • Back injury
    • Bipolar disorder or schizophrenia
    • Carpal tunnel syndrome
    • Chronic fatigue syndrome
    • Chronic pain disorders
    • Degenerative disk or joint disease
    • Depression
    • Developmental disorders
    • Diabetes
    • Fibromyalgia
    • Herniated disks

    • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
    • Spinal cord injury

    Often, people have the misunderstanding that you can receive benefits for a partial disability which is not accurate. The Social Security Administration disability benefits will only apply to those who are totally disabled from working. This condition must stop your ability to work for at least a year or will apply if your condition is expected to end in death.

    Another misconception is that you just must be unable to work at your previous job, which is also not accurate. Instead, your physical or mental condition must stop you from be able to perform any type of job at all. What this really means is that Social Security Disability benefits in Gulfport, MS are not based on the specific type of illness or condition that you have but are based on how significantly that condition affects your ability to work.
