Can people with ADHD receive disability?
Yes, they can if they have true ADHD. Who receives disability has nothing to do with “what” disorder a person has, but more to do with “how” a person is disabled. A person with ADHD is actually more likely to need disability than someone with a physical problem. Because ADHD seriously interferes with ones ability to work. Those with mild ADHD wont get it, they can often function in a work place if you find the right job. Even those with moderate ADHD will not get it as they can often hold down a job if they are on medcs. But those with severe ADHD will definatly qualify. People with severe ADHD have limited control over their behaviour. And generally with need full time supervision in order to complete their job. They do not have the focus to complete tasks and have limited control over their behaviour. It is not uncommon to find them outside climbing on the roof instead of doping their work. This isnt their fault it is something they have limited control over. It is cheaper for the go
