How This Definition Of Disability Applies To People With HIV Infection?
A person with symptomatic HIV infection is often severely limited in his or her ability to work. In other words, if the evidence shows that you have symptomatic HIV infection that severely limits your ability to work, and if you meet the other eligibility factors, the chances are very good that you will be able to receive Social Security or SSI benefits. On the other hand, some people with HIV infection may be less impaired and able to work, so they may not be eligible for disability.
