Can you apply for SSI for a learning disability ?


You can apply for SSI for any disability or conditions that prevent you from being able to work. If you have a learning disability that has prevented you from working, then you should file an SSI disability or Social security disability claim with the Social Security Administration.

If you apply for disability because you are a slow learner, your school records will be important. For instance, if you were in specials education classes in school, you have a better chance of an allowance for SSI benefits.

Social Security does not discern between physical or mental impairments, only how your impairment or impairments affect your ability to function in daily activities including work activity.
