Unless your child has other health issues due to the hypothyroidism from birth like mental retardation it probably won't be enough to qualify for disability. Usually if treatment is started early, within the first few months after birth, there aren't any long term health issues. Your child may or may not have learning disabilities, but many children have learning disabilities and these are addressed at school when they are recognized.
The best way to find out would be to contact your social security and talk to somebody there.

Hypothyroidism especially congenital may not be totally cured but can be controlled. As long as your daughter is mentally capable of work and/or employment when her right age comes, she is entitled for Social Security membership and benefits when time comes for her retirement and/or sickness benefits especially other than hypothyroidism.
But hypothyroidism as a reason for seeking social security income benefit as a dependent incapacitated daughter, no she can not, unless she is again mentally or physically incapable of seeking or finding a job when she is in the right age to be able to support herself.

Only if it's very severe cases preventing her from having a normal life, but for most cases the answer is no. In most cases, hypothyroidism can be treated with medication. Sometimes it's a balance of getting the right thyroid levels and the right thyroid meds.

Call up Social Security, and they will make an appointment for your daughter to see a doctor free of charge, to see if she is eligible for SSI. The doctor then reports to Social Security. More than likely, she will be denied.

Thyroid disease is one of the most common health problems we face today. From a practical standpoint, there are many ways to approach this issue. Learn here https://tinyurl.im/aH6rW Hypothyroidism, or underactive thyroid, is a very common problem, and there are many reasons for this, including drinking chlorinated and fluoridated water, and eating brominated flour. Chlorine, fluoride, and bromine are all in the same family as iodine, and can displace iodine in your thyroid gland. Secondly, many people simply aren't getting enough iodine in their diet to begin with. The amount you get from iodized salt is just barely enough to prevent you from getting a goiter.

The top 2 things that can cause thyroid problems are iodine deficiency and radiation exposure.
There isn't a lot we can do about radiation other than to avoid it, but there's certainly something that can be done about iodine deficiency. Not sure if reversing iodine deficiency is a permanent solution, but it's a good solution.
