disabilityexpert on 30 May 24Scoliosis, a medical condition causing an abnormal spinal curvature, affects approximately 7 million people in the United States. Some people diagnosed with the disorder may live unaffected by the condition. However, severe scoliosis causes severe pain and changes in posture, limiting a person's ability to work and live a normal life. If you have been diagnosed with scoliosis and cannot work because of the condition, you may qualify for disability benefits through the Supplemental Security Income and Social Security disability Insurance programs. SSI and SSDI provide disability benefits provided that you meet the eligibility requirements for each of the programs that are administered by the Social Security Administration.
