Social Security Disability Claims Based on Adult ADD or ADHD

Why are Adult ADD or Adult ADHD Social Security disability cases so difficult to win? Adults with this mental health condition struggle every day with problems that can make it difficult or impossible to hold down a job - issues such as:
-time management
-attention and concentration
-remaining on task
-persistence at a job task
-adequate pace of work
-behaving in an emotionally stable manner
-proper attendance
Many Social Security judges seem to feel, however, that ADD or ADHD are disorders that most seriously impact school aged children. Adults should either "grow out of" their symptoms or find medication to control behavior that would negatively impact work.
As I discuss in this video, you are much more likely to win Social Security disability if you base your claim on some other mental health or physical condition, and present your attention deficit issues as a secondary disabling issue.

Judges that make the call need to understand the significance of ADHD and it's effects in adults.

[@rickb06]

They don't care, they are mostly old and bitter boomers who love to think less of their disabled peers. Boomers had the best life, opportunity and prosperity in HUMAN HISTORY, yet they like to play up their "hardships" that are all exaggerated and bullshit, they were the LAST generation that had the option of living the American Dream, now that dream, mostly because of them, is a NIGHTMARE! Yes I'm salty (pissed off), but rightly so, wages haven't gone up, inflation has gone nuclear and we can't buy houses in our twenties, we aren't lazy, we are f*cked. So if we start having a downward spiral with ADHD and go downhill, we get punished. Once the bad ones die, life will get easier, until then, buckle up, they won't leave this hell on earth until they've eaten, drunk and pilfered EVERY possible GOOD thing or chance at a good life that exists.

[@megphillips7488]

I agree. Tonight I'm having a hard time. I feel depression coming on but I'm fighting it. I'm upset because I can't keep a job longer than 3 months because I quit and life becomes shit each time. It's an endless cycle

[@traymac214]

@@megphillips7488 and that's truly understandable like wtf. That's something they have got to understand and should and imo a hell of a reason to be qualified.

[@jeffdowell1255]

@@megphillips7488 I’m the same way. I just can’t. I know what I need to do, but ADD and other life factors contribute to me ultimately leaving the job. I’m struggling right now as we speak. Judges don’t understand that when a person has ADD/ADHD, they have it for life. It’s literally how they are wired.

[@erikschiller4838]

​@@jeffdowell1255I would say thankfully we're coming to an age where there is A LOT more understanding of ADHD as a disability than a behavioral issue. But still, there's a lot of people out there who are still VERY ignorant 2 ADHD and mental illness in general because they have it in their head that if you can't see it, don't believe it and if the person is standing, speaking, functioning, then they must be okay right?! It's an idiotic way of thinking especially when you consider that one out of four adults are disabled and 80% of those have disabilities that we can't see! I would LOVE to let these same judges and all the doubters spend a day in my head, just one day, both unmedicated and medicated... Then tell me how they feel, how easy it is to focus, to organize your thoughts, to not blurt things out, to not hyper fixate, hyper focus, overanalyze or constantly feel guilty for doing something wrong even though you did nothing wrong because you're used to people telling you about all the things you DO do wrong because of your ADHD... Some people don't understand but even when we are medicated, it is not a 100% curable! It still doesn't help with time management, organization, our memory or social skills... Medication only touches the surface of ADHD and it's so much more complex than people think or believe it to be so cut and dry.

[@skoal22005]

Its good advice for sure, adhd can be torture when its hard to hold down a job and you don't have insurance to be treated for the condition. I now realize ive dealt with the nonsense my whole life and nobody really gives a shit, they just look at you like you're worthless and or lazy, don't want to work, when you do work you're constantly reprimanded because you "don't listen" or "have a bad attitude" because for some reason we can't remember 30 things a manager rattles off in speed talking to do. It's a great life.

[@erikschiller4838]

See, for me... When I DO work (I'm medicated fortunately, when I WASN'T I had that issue though!) I BUST MY ASS, But between my physical chronic disability, my mental health overall, my home life/kids, there's a lot of days where I would be late or just call out of work all together because I was so sick... I actually got laid off earlier this month and provided all the necessary documentation to prove my chronic illness... They still laid me off and to this very day they haven't provided me with any PROOF that I was LEGITIMATELY fired.

[@crustycobs2669]

I'm 67, and filed for disability years ago, and was told that it is not a disability. That helps explain why in my entire I could not work with anyone else, had broken relationships, etc, etc,and this is in the 'best' Country, the U.S.A. where I could never get any help at all.

[@shellyhunt4910]

It’s not a disability by itself I don’t know why

[@garrettbush8308]

The Americans with Disabilities Org. Classifies it now as a legal disability now. People are opening up to us, its just a struggle to try to get them to understand what we have to deal with. I had to fight my way up every ladder in life just to graduate college in engineering and now I am a controls engineer, I see what the work force does to people lile us who have this condition and generally people who have adhd are either ignored, mistreated, or neglected and its all because they dont understand what it is like.

[@drogon2988]

People with ADD are pretty much fucked. We're 50% less likely to be able to hold a job and on average we make 33% less than other employees do with similar job titles when taking promotions and pay raises into account. On top of that we pay to take medication to try to help with our disorder, further taking away money from our financial stability. You'd hope you could turn to someone like this man for help but not only will the system tell you to fuck off, but he knows that's the case so he'll tell you to fuck off before it even gets to that point. And you wonder why people with ADD suffer from depression.

No ADHD definitely stays in adults as well. It can effect your decision making in adults, many adults can be very impulsive, also Adhd doesn’t go away as you get older. Some have most symptoms as adult as well

[@mysnellvilleblog]

ADD is an outdated term. It is now all ADHD, but divided into subtypes. There is ADHD-I for primarily Inattentive ADHD, ADHD Combined Type, and so on. Medications DO help, but they're just part of the toolkit. The patient needs to work to educate himself/herself about ADHD & how they can work with it the best. The videos by Dr. Russell Barkley here on KZbin are exceptional, as are the ADDitude magazine Experts Podcasts. Also, there isn't an ADHD for children and one for adults. It is the same condition of the frontal cortex, it just PRESENTS differently. I'm telling ya, get properly treated and educate yourself about how to work WITH ADHD, and you'll find yourself with amazing creativity and abilities you never knew you had. You'll make Mr. Ginsberg and the SSDI judge incredibly envious. lol Your brain isn't disabled or defective, it just works differently. -Proudly ADHD

[@ssdattorney]

[@hannahlea7936]

I would just like to say thank you. because I hate it when people come on here and just start spitting out facts that aren't even true about it. I have had ADHD since I was a child and still struggle with it today. until ADHD is seen as a physical disorder as well as mental disorder things will never change. also the reason that I say that it should be notice as a physical disability is because it is a chemical imbalance in the brain as well as other symptoms. so once again thank you for this comment.

Absolutely nothing wrong with being disabled, as someone with quite severe ADHD I'm definitely disabled in many actives most can do without an issue that I can't even manage sometimes

Add is a disability. Yes medication work but at times the medication may not be able to be continued due to high blood pressure or need to up the dose and that could cause issues. I hate judges. If someone says their disabled and have a professional DOCTOR agreeing. A judge doesn't need to make the call. Ridiculous

[@patrickwalsh7717]

Thanks for your honesty at least. Someday we'll all learn that disabilities that you can't see or put on a spreadsheet are real too!

[@sorad5791]

The notion that kids have to juggle more than adults because of school subjects is wild. Adulthood is constant juggling, with all of life's various "subjects", ALL the responsibility, and all the consecuences of not being able to keep up.. as a kid, your parent or guardian handles a lot of the weight. Sheesh.

[@ssdattorney]

For whatever reason, my experience has been that SSD judges view ADHD as primarily a problem for pre-adolescents and teens. ADHD cases in adults just don't get approved.

[@hippiegypsygirl]

Loss of executive function is a major disability and that is one of many parts of adhd… it doesn’t make sense that the frontal lobe of your brain losing executive function would go away for adults. Why would that change? I am just learning what adhd is this week and I was so wrong in assuming it was a non issue. I never took the time to understand what is was, until I realized I had it… It is very real and proven scientifically, not sure why it would be a disability if you are taking the right meds to help stop the dopamine leak. We should raise awareness for adhd in adult women… I am sad my life could have been different if it was properly medicated…

[@parscreationsstapp8419]

That is what I figured. Thank you for being honest about it. Others with ADHD... I feel for you. I went through school, got a masters. Getting the masters was super difficult and I had to get incompletes and make them up to get my degree. It takes so much more time for me to retain anything than others. As the years went by in my profession, the number of tasks increased to the point where I could not keep up with all of them. I left that profession and now have 4 part time jobs. A whole lot less stress, a whole lot less money. Thank goodness my husband has a job that pays something. I am lucky if I can hold 3 things in my memory at once. The older I get the harder it is to retain information. It is embarrassing. There just isn't any way I could go back to a good paying job. Even though I am a hard worker, it sometimes takes me longer. I cannot keep up with multiple tasks without carefully written notes. It is amazing how many employers do not have any kind of system written down.

I’m a parent of a child with ADHD and she suffers from depression and anxiety and she was denied disability 3 times. She’s seen several different psychologists and psychiatrists since she was 2 and I thought she would’ve grown out of it and she hasn’t. The issues I have with her is she wonders off when I’m shopping, she steals, she talks to herself and cries, some days she’s happy then most days she’s sad. Her classmates bullies her because she has trouble in school with class work. I have a IEP eligibility meeting Tuesday and I hope she gets approved for the extra help. Also she’s been evaluated 3 different times by 3 different doctors and they all told me that her IQ levels are very low for someone of her age. So please let me know if she has a chance of getting approved for her disability or something because I have a court date in August. Thanks!

[@jesssmith8274]

I am a LPC and a lot of case management experience. A lot of people generally do not understand how SSI and SSDI work. Many folks assume just because you have a diagnosis or had an IEP in school that you automatically qualify for SSI. In order to get SSI you must prove that you child has a significant disability not just a diagnosis or needing extra help in school. You also have to meet the income guidelines. The majority of the children that have ADHD, depression, and anxiety do not qualify for SSI. Yes your daughter has problems but her problems do not sound that severe from a clinical perspective. Regarding depression and anxiety, has your child's mental health issues ever required hospitalization or partial-hospitalization? If not, then she will not qualify. Also regarding IQ low IQ, she will need to meet the clinical criteria for IDD. If she does not meet the clinical criteria for IDD, then she won't get SSI.

Seems the only way i can live without my government taking everything i've ever owned away from me. I give up.

[@ArchanDelon12]

I think the larger problem is that ADHD only prevents you from working some jobs, but not all of them. Doesn't matter if the job isn't close to you, doesn't matter if it pays minimum wage, doesn't matter if you're homeless while working. If you can work even a single job then they will deny you. People with ADHD have lower than normal levels of Norepinephrine, Dopamine, or both depending on the type. Physical labor jobs tend to suit people with ADHD because physical activity produces Norepinephrine and Dopamine which helps combat the ADHD. They might climb the walls working a desk job but function "normal" in a physical labor job. You would have to pair other types of disabling conditions to go along with it. Can't work manual labor because of a back injury, can't type because of carpal tunnel, can't be a Walmart greeter because of crippling anxiety, can't work a desk job because I have letters from my last 5 employers saying my impulsive and hyperactive behavior caused me to engage in gross misconduct. Most importantly you need medical documentation for every condition and letters from employers if you can get them. Even then it's a roll of the dice. I've seen people who shouldn't be working go to work because they can't get disability, and I've seen people who are full of shit liars that are on disability because they scammed the system.

[@ssdattorney]

I think that there is a bigger trend at play here. Any kind of "invisible illness" will be an uphill battle when pursuing disability benefits. There is no way to take an MRI or CT of ADHD or to measure its severity. SSA is inherently suspicious of any condition that cannot be scanned or objectively measured.

[@w.johnson1458]

Until we change how people see ADHD we won't be able to appropriately help those who have it. ADHD is a disability. The issue is that Judges need to be educated, their in actuate beliefs shouldn't be the reason a disabled person is denied benefits. ADHD left untreated is what may actually cause someone to suffer from Major depressive and anxiety disorders. Adhd makes you more likely to develops CPTSD. Even obesity can be linked to ADHD. Every aspect of your health can be negatively impacted by ADHD. Forgetting appts or to follow up on referrals, to take medication. ADHD makes it harder to create a consistent work out routine or redirect your actions towards future goals. People with untreated ADHD are more likely to get in car accidents, become addicted to drugs, get arrested and go bankrupt. But if we are more open to understanding what it really is, a neuro developmental disorder, not a behavioral issues we could easily and successful help these people learn to work around their symptoms. But if we don't catch it early it creates long term persistent unproductive habits that become hard to alter over time.

No, this video paints a realistic picture of the reality of SSD. ADHD and other invisible illnesses cannot be imaged with an MRI or CT and SSA decision makers are reluctant to approve cases where a condition cannot be imaged with objective testing.

@@ssdattorney The video did do that, I agree. It's more the assumptions on the part of judges that you're preparing us for that made me skirm. That's not your fault, I would prefer to be ready to be annoyed. (I agree that disability for adhd alone would be a very hard sell to anyone.)
