20+ yrs ago when I got disability, my lawyer made the point that it was not an illness that was defined,it was the ability or inability to to perform tasks. The reason I remember so clearly is because I did have a hearing and the atty reminded me of that fact before we went into the hearing. Perhaps there are codes that were used by the system to identify a specific disease or illness but it never showed up on any of my paperwork. D. |

its not the illness thats decides whether you are approved for SSDI or SSI, its how the symptoms, and/or treatment for that illness affect your ability to work. It may also not be just one illness or condition it can be the sum total of all that leads to being approved. I dont know if they listed conditions on the cdr's 20 years ago but they do now, in code form of course.
