Degenerative Arthritis Is Very Common
The truth is, almost everyone suffers from some degree of degenerative arthritis as they age. But if it is severe enough to keep you from performing at work, you may qualify for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI). You must be unable to work for a continuous period of at least 12 months.
In many cases, degenerative arthritis is treatable. For example, many workers are able to return to work after a joint replacement operation is performed. If you are able to return to work, you may be able to receive back pay for your "closed period" of disability.
