Foot Problems And Social Security Disability

     Can you get on Social Security disability benefits for problems with your foot or feet? The answer is that it's very possible. 

    Age makes a lot of difference in cases involving foot problems. Things become less difficult, not easy but less difficult, after a person turns 50. If you're 50 or older and you haven't done sedentary work and you have significant foot problems your case is fairly easy to present to Social Security. A finding that you're limited to sedentary work will probably win your case.

    As with almost every other type of health problem, treatment matters. Have you been seeing a podiatrist or orthopedic surgeon about the foot problem? Are you still seeing that doctor? Has your problem required surgery? Is diabetes a complicating factor?
