ADHD Disability Benefits
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) can significantly impact an individual’s ability to work, learn, and manage daily responsibilities. While ADHD alone doesn’t automatically qualify as a disability under Social Security rules, it may be considered disabling if it severely limits an individual’s ability to function.
If you or your child is struggling with ADHD and unable to maintain employment or academic performance, call the Law Offices of Jeffrey A. Rabin & Associates, Ltd at (847) 299-0008. We can assist you with the complex Social Security Disability (SSD) application process and help you pursue ADHD disability benefits.
Common Symptoms and Hardships Associated With ADHD
ADHD presents a variety of symptoms that can make daily life challenging, including:
- Difficulty focusing and completing tasks
- Impulsivity and poor decision-making
- Struggles with organization and time management
- Emotional dysregulation and mood swings
- Problems maintaining employment or academic performance
Requirements for Receiving SSD With ADHD
To qualify for Social Security Disability benefits with ADHD, the applicant must meet the SSA’s eligibility criteria. ADHD is listed under neurological disorders in the Social Security Blue Book for children, but adults must prove that their symptoms significantly impair their ability to work. Key factors include:
- Medical documentation proving a history of ADHD diagnosis
- Evidence of severe limitations in executive functioning, concentration, or social interactions
- Medical records, psychological evaluations, and testimony from healthcare providers
From applications to appeals, our disability lawyers at the Law Offices of Jeffrey A. Rabin & Associates work tirelessly to help clients with ADHD secure financial stability through SSD benefits.
Getting Disability Benefits for a Child With ADHD
Children with ADHD may qualify for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) if their condition meets the SSA’s criteria under Listing 112.11 for neurodevelopmental disorders. This requires medical documentation of frequent distractibility, impulsive behavior, or significant learning difficulties. To be considered disabled, a child must have an extreme limitation in one, or marked limitations in two, of the following areas of mental functioning:
- Learning and academic performance
- Social skills and peer interactions
- Self-care and task management
The SSA assesses ADHD claims by reviewing medical records, psychological evaluations, school reports, and evidence of how ADHD affects daily functioning at home and school.
If your child’s ADHD is severely affecting their daily life, the Law Offices of Jeffrey A. Rabin & Associates can help you gather the necessary evidence to present a strong claim.
What Information Do I Need to Qualify for Disability with ADHD?
A strong disability claim for ADHD requires substantial documentation, including:
- Medical records detailing the ADHD diagnosis
- Reports from psychologists, psychiatrists, or primary care physicians
- Evidence of prescribed treatments and responses
- Statements from teachers, employers, or caregivers
- School records, IEP (Individualized Education Program) reports, and standardized test scores (for children)
