Spinal Cord Injury Disability Claims
A spinal cord injury and disability can be devastating, but it does not have to ruin your life financially. You may be entitled to private or employer-sponsored disability insurance, as well as Social Security disability insurance benefits. Veterans may be eligible for VA disability compensation.
A spinal cord injury disability occurs when someone suffers from the loss of function, mobility or feeling in the body. As a victim of spinal cord damage, you have much at stake. It is likely you are rendered disabled to some degree, if not entirely.
Some who suffer from back and spine disorders can continue working, but many lose their ability to function in the workplace altogether.
The spine, also called the vertebral column or the spinal column, is a collection of flexible bones that surround the spinal cord.

Does Spinal Cord or Nerve Root Lesions Qualify for Social Security Disability Benefits? Yes! Try Using SSA Listing 11.08.
When your nerve roots or spinal cord become damaged due to disease, you can lose some – or all – of your ability to move. In some cases, you may just feel numbness in certain areas of your body. More severe cases, though, can cause people to experience paralysis in their arms, legs, or even from the neck down.
Obviously, people who can’t move tend to have trouble finding work, so the Social Security Administration has chosen to recognize this as a potentially disabling condition. All you need to do to get Social Security disability benefits is qualify.
That means either matching a listing in the Listings of Impairments or proving that your issue is the equivalent of a condition included in the Listings.
