what are some illnesses that would qualify a person for ssi?

Answer 1

There isn't a list anywhere of what illness qualify someone for ssi. The reason is because most illnesses vary from mild to severe. The illness must be severe enough that social security deems it to be disabling. They will make that determination.

The only list available is at the social security offices and it is all related to the phases of HIV that make a person eligible for ssi.
