Living with scoliosis can be painful, limiting, and exhausting. For many people, the spinal curvature caused by scoliosis doesn’t just affect their appearance — it affects mobility, stamina, and the ability to perform everyday tasks or maintain employment. If your condition keeps you from working full-time, you may be eligible for scoliosis disability benefits through the Social Security Administration (SSA).
At The Law Offices of Jeffrey A. Rabin & Associates, our team has more than 100 years of combined experience helping people with serious medical conditions obtain Social Security Disability benefits. We understand how scoliosis can impact every part of your life — physically, financially, and emotionally — and we’re here to fight for the benefits you deserve.
Call us today at (847) 299-0008 to schedule your free consultation. You pay no upfront fees — we only get paid if you win benefits.
Can You Get Disability Benefits for Scoliosis?
Yes, but it depends on the severity of your condition and how it limits your ability to work. The SSA doesn’t automatically approve every scoliosis claim. Instead, they look at how the curvature of your spine affects your movement, flexibility, and overall physical capacity.
You may qualify for disability benefits for scoliosis if your condition causes:
- Severe or chronic pain that prevents you from performing job duties
- Difficulty standing, walking, or sitting for long periods
- Nerve compression leading to numbness, weakness, or loss of coordination
- Respiratory or cardiovascular problems from spinal deformities
- Limited range of motion that interferes with basic daily activities
Even if you don’t meet the exact SSA medical listing for spinal disorders, you may still qualify based on a Residual Functional Capacity (RFC) assessment. This evaluation determines what kind of work — if any — you can perform given your limitations.
At The Law Offices of Jeffrey A. Rabin & Associates, our Social Security Disability attorneys can gather medical records, doctor statements, and other evidence to show the SSA the true impact scoliosis has on your life.
How to Get Disability Benefits for Scoliosis
Applying for scoliosis disability benefits can be challenging. The SSA often denies claims simply because the medical documentation isn’t strong enough or the application lacks clarity. That’s where our experienced attorneys come in.
Here’s how we can help:
Evaluate your eligibility
We’ll review your medical records and determine whether your scoliosis meets SSA standards for disability.
Prepare a complete application
We ensure all forms, documentation, and medical evidence are accurate and thorough.
Collect strong medical support
We work directly with your doctors to obtain detailed reports describing how scoliosis limits your movement and ability to work.
Handle denials and appeals
If your initial application is denied, we’ll file an appeal, present new evidence, and represent you before an Administrative Law Judge.
Guide you at every step
From start to finish, you’ll have a dedicated attorney who explains each stage of the process clearly and compassionately.

Understanding How Scoliosis Affects Disability Claims
Scoliosis varies greatly from person to person. Some people manage mild curvature with physical therapy or braces, while others suffer from severe spinal deformities that make even simple movements painful. The SSA evaluates each claim individually, looking for medical proof that your condition prevents you from working.
Your scoliosis disability claim may be stronger if you have:
- A spinal curvature greater than 40 degrees
- Documented nerve compression or spinal stenosis
- Persistent, chronic pain despite treatment
- Breathing or heart problems caused by spinal compression
- Multiple failed attempts at surgical correction
Even if your scoliosis doesn’t meet these exact criteria, you may still be eligible for benefits if your symptoms limit your ability to work consistently. Our attorneys can build your case by gathering evidence, arranging medical opinions, and demonstrating how scoliosis affects your daily life.
Why Legal Representation Matters
Many people ask whether they can handle their claim alone. Technically, yes — but in practice, the Social Security Disability process is complex, and most applicants are denied when applying without legal help.
Having an experienced disability attorney can dramatically improve your chances of success. Our team will:
- Ensure that your medical evidence fully meets SSA standards
- Identify weaknesses in your application before submission
- Prepare you for hearings and appeals
- Handle communication with Social Security representatives on your behalf
We’ve helped many clients with spinal disorders secure the benefits they need to live with dignity and financial security.
