Question: I have agoraphobia and schizophrenia/schizoaffective disorder, would i be eligible for disability?

(Posted by: oslice25 on 2010-05-25 12:33:20)

It's not something that I'm really anxious to do (it's a bit embarrassing), but these problems really affect my daily life, and it seems sensible that they would be considered disabilities...but I'm not sure... nor am I sure where I would go to sign up for something like that. Trust me, if it wasn't a big problem, I wouldn't worry about it...but I've been trying to convince myself that it's not a big deal...for the last ten years.

I have pretty the same mental problem as yours and i got exempted from military service and now receive a pension from social services for that. i am sure if this exist in my country Iran which is a third world country of course you can benefit from it in the US which i think is where you live. blessings.

Yes. not for agoraphobia, but for schizoaffective you should be able to recieve full disability. maybe you need to be hospitalized for evaluation and examination. But i'm not sure about that. Talk to your psychiatrist about application procedure for disability.
