Hi all, Candy posted earlier that on the ss website she found which disabilities were covered. I can find the web address for ss, but can't find the list that she meantioned. Anyone know how to find it. Does anyone have a list of covered disabilities? I find that the information on disabilities in general are very confusing. Nancy O.

Hi Nancy,

The list is NOT on the Social Security website. In trying to remember exactly where I found it - I first went to the Social Security site and found out what the name of the list was. They refer to it on the website but don't have it available to view for some reason. THEN I went to www.google.com (search engine) and typed in the phrase and found it that way. I will look again and see if I can come up with website for you.

Hi Nancy,

If you find the link numbered 13:00 that gives you the information on lung cancer,

Candy
