Speech disabilities

Your speech disability may qualify you for SSDI or SSI benefits

Speech disabilities (or speech disorders or speech impediments) are disorders that may include stuttering, lisps, or dysphonia. If you are unable to speak, you are considered mute. A speech disability may be caused by neurological disorders or hearing loss. People with speech disorders can be treated with speech therapy.

Social Security considers some speech disorders disabling. If you have a speech disorder, you may qualify for either SSD or Supplemental Security Income benefits, depending on the severity of your condition. It's crucial to prove that your speech disorder prevents you from doing any type of work.
