While there is a list of disabilities on www.ssa.gov, the important question is whether the condition is so disabling that it makes the person unable to engage in "substantial gainful activity", earning at least $1,220/month (2019), for at least 12 months or to result in death.

This is general information. It cannot substitute for a personal consultation with an attorney. It is not intended to be legal advice or imply an attorney-client relationship.
