Kyphoscoliosis and Social Security?

Kyphosis/Scoliosis and Social Security?
I have Kyphosis and Scoliosis and it effects me alot. I cannot stand for too long without my back killing me and I cannot sit long without it killing me. I was diagnosed as a child when I was 11. I have tried exercises and braces and my back has only gotten worse. THe only thing left to do is sugery but I do not have insurance to pay for it. I have a 3 year old son and I need to make some money somehow but because of my back I cannot. My legs are starting to have nerve problems in them and I cannot even pick up my 29lb son anymore!! Any help would be appreciated!

If you have worked enough time you could be eligible for Social Security. Depending on your income you may be eligible for SSI.
Contact your local office for an appointment or come in as a walk in. The service representative can give you more details.
If you are approved for an appointment you're going to want to have the names, addresses, and phone numbers of all the doctors, clinics, and hospitals you have been to, also the names and dosages of medications that you currently take.

So when was the last time you were seen by a doctor for these conditions? If you have been without insurance for a long time and haven't been seen, then you should contact your county's department of social services. If you qualify (no insurance and low income) they will get you seen and the doctors can take it from there. If they determine that you have permanent disability, then you can apply for social security benefits.
