Finding Your Eligibility from The SSI Disability List
The SSI disability list is a comprehensive compilation of illnesses, conditions, and disabilities that the Social Security Agency (SSA) covers for the people of the United States, especially for the poor and low income earning families with disabled, sick, and physically challenged members. The following article contains the list and some other useful information in finding your disability benefit.
