Hi, does anyone have any experience applying for disability with AS? Can anyone share about the process? I'm interested in hearing about any experiences because I'm thinking about going through it but I don't know if we're eligible with AS.

Thanks in advance

Hello @Haybeycheblai002‍, thank you for opening this discussion! I know that applying for disability can be a long and sometimes confusing process. Let me tag some other members who can possibly share with you!

Hi everyone, how are you doing? Do any of you have any experience in applying for disability when you have AS? Does AS make one eligible for SSI or disability aid? Can anyone share their experience in applying? Are there any helpful resources or anything we should know?

I think one of the most difficult parts of applying for disability is figuring out how your condition actually affects your ability to work and manage everyday responsibilities. Having clear medical records and examples of those limitations can make your situation much easier to explain. It’s also worth remembering that eligibility usually depends on how significantly the condition affects your functioning, not simply on having a specific diagnosis. geometry dash
