Depersonalization Disorder and Disability benefits

Post Reply New Topic

Does anyone here have Depersonalization disorder and get disability benefits because of it?

I've had it for 15 years and I have real trouble keeping jobs. I just want to explore my options.

I was diagnosed with depersonalization disorder, tic disorder, and schizoid. I believe that schizoid is a misdiagnoses since I hand flap and toe walk. Schizoid onsets in adulthood and the majority of my social problems happened in my childhood.

Isthisreal,
am know very little about depersonalization disorder,and don't live in US,but is there a list of recognised disabilities given by SSI/SSD to check? DLA is supposed to have a list of a disabilities they will and wont allow,so there should be one for the US equivilent.

gives criteria have to pass for it,am dont know which part it would come under so had to link to all of 'mental'.


Give this forum a try: http://www.youreable.com/forums/index.jspa?categoryID=1 if want further information,dont use YA but it's the most recommended one on all the disability forums am use.
