Will social security disability cover a person with sleep apnea?

Question

What if you are on all the drugs, using the CPAP, and still very sick? Can you get social security disability?

Answer 1

Sleep adnea is a treateble disease. It is soooo common that if all people with sleep apnea got disability, American workforce would be cut by 2/3!

Have your CPAP adjusted, U might need a surgery to remove that thing that hangs in your throat. Lose weight if you must.

Answer 4

You can go to the SSI web site. The standard for SSI is that you will not recover. Sorry. I tried myself after open-heart surgery and was not able to get it. I am doing better and working 40 hours now that at the time I didn't think I would work again. If you can start walking even a little bit to lose a few pounds this will help you sleep. At this time I have lost 20# and sleeping better. Good Luck

Answer 5

It should, mainly with people who have been medically approved to use the CPAP machine and have a history of falling asleep while talking, walking, or having a conversation. Or if your heart skip beats while asleep. There our other people who get SSI, who are in much better shape than someone with sleep apnea.
