Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

I got a compression fracture in my thoracic 8 vertibria and I can't get a job and I am struggling to take care of my family because I can't lift ten pounds or more and I have a felony from when I was 17 and I'm 24 now I have medical records that show x-rays of my injury. Do I qualify for disability?

I am a 50-something female who has worked hard her whole life. And because of that hard work, I have undergone three knee surgeries (Two ACL tears on right knee, and benign cancerous growth in left knee)...and T-11 compression fracture on my back. These injuries range from 1992 to approximately 4 years ago. I work part time and pretty much stay in pain. What would I need to do to qualify for disability benefits? Thanks.

I shattered both heels 20 years ago and have plates and pins n both feet. 22 months ago I broke my back n 7 places and my neck among other injuries sustained from a car wreck. I'm only 40 and a union boilermaker for last 20 years. I tried to return to work and made it less then a yr and that's only because my best friend was my boss and let me come and go as I needed. I've since quit working and applied for SS. I'm wanting someone's opinion if they think I will qualify. THANKS

Hi Debra,

A bulging disc could qualify for disability. But due to the fact that you are working, it may be difficult to get approved.

Hi Melanie,

If all of that will cause you to be out of work for at least 12 months then you could be able to qualify for SSD benefits.

Hi There,

I'm sorry, that's tough. There are many different reasons why you could have been denied though. If the SSA still think you are able to work, if you didn't have enough work credits for SSDI or have too high of a household income, you may have been denied.

Compression fracture t7 t8 resulted in complete obliteration and destruction of disc. Focal kyphosis and spinal cord contouring. Possible discitis was the cause. Attenptong to work under strict restrictions. Im attempting to work but if I cant, worried about options

Hi Katrina,

You'll need to make sure you meet the SSA's Blue Book listing for one or more of the conditions you listed. I would talk with your doctor to make sure you medically qualify. In addition, for SSI you'll need to make sure are below the income limits (under $3,000 in assets if married or under $2,000 in assets if you are unmarried).

Just got out of the hospital after having to major seizures and a bloodclot in my brain. I already had back issues that SS already denied me for while I was in the hospital for 13 days dealing with the clot and seizures. The did something called a bone scan while at the trauma hospital and found out I also have 13 vertebra that have compression fractures in them.

Hi Eric,

If you were denied before because of back issues, you may have a better chance of being approved now that you are experiencing some other conditions. I would consult with your doctor and look over the Blue Book to see if your back issues, blood clots, and seizures meet a listing. Best of luck!
