Not anymore. There never were all that many people getting Social Security disability benefits on account of alcoholism or drug addiction, but Congress has now prohibited Social Security from paying disability benefits on the basis of alcoholism or drug addiction. However, alcoholics and drug addicts have heart attacks, get cancer or get sick in other ways just like everyone else.

I know someone who is on Social Security disability and he does not look disabled. Why do they let all of these people who don’t deserve it on disability? When it comes to disability, looks can be very deceiving. There are many people who look quite healthy but who are quite disabled. I am disabled, but I have never worked at public work. Can I get Social Security disability benefits? If you have low income and limited resources, you can qualify for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) if you are disabled, even if you have never worked in the past. It is also possible to qualify for Disabled Adult Child Benefits on the account of a parent if you became disabled before age 22 or for Disabled Widow’s or Widower’s Benefits on the account of a late husband or wife. I am a widow. I have not worked in public work in many year
