You Must Demonstrate the Effect Your Heart Disease Has on Your Job
In order to qualify for Social Security disability benefits, you will have to be able to show how the symptoms of your ailment — symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, shortness of breath or weakness — prevent you from being able to work. As part of the process, you will need to provide a diagnosis from a qualified medical professional.
Also, you must be unable to work for a continuous period of 12 months. If you are able to return to work at some point afterward, you may be able to recover back pay for your "closed period" of disability.
