Mental illness and Disability MN

The mental illness and disability disorder Social Security listings are set out in eight different categories.

• 12.02 organic mental disorders
• 12.03 schizophrenic, paranoid and other psychotic disorders
• 12.04 affective disorders
• 12.05 mental retardation and autism
• 12.06 anxiety-related disorders
• 12.07 somatoform disorders
• 12.08 personality disorders
• 12.09 substance addiction disorders

When Social Security is evaluating your mental illness and disability they look at the severity of your disorder in terms of the functional limitations caused by the impairment. The functional limitations are examined by looking at four areas:

1. Activities of daily living – examples include activities such as cleaning, cooking, grooming and hygiene, and paying bills.

2. Social functioning refers to a person’s ability to interact and communicate with other people like family members and friends.

3. Concentration, persistence and pace refers to the capacity to sustain focus over a long enough period in order to complete tasks found in a work environment.

4. Episodes of decompensation include periods where symptoms and signs worsen accompanied by a loss of adaptive functioning.

When you are applying for Social security (SSA) benefits based on mental illness and disability Social Security will look at evidence from a variety of sources. As with other disorders, documentation and specific evidence of how your mental illness limits your activities over an extended period of time is the key to winning mental illness and disability benefits in Minnesota.
