A person who has Alzheimers Disease can be eligible to receive either Social Security Disability benefits, or Supplemental Security Insurance, SSDI and SSI respectively. Alzheimers is a common form of dementia that will normally grow worse as time goes on. A condition such as this makes it nearly impossible to hold down a job, as brain cells are affected. It is difficult for a person with Alzheimers to remember things, and confusion is also a symptom. It is not unusual for someone with Alzheimers to forget who their friends and relatives are, and even where they are at times. Such cognitive difficulties can graphically point out the disabling aspects of Alzheimers. Those with the condition who apply for Social Security Disability Insurance benefits will more than likely be approved, as there is marked difficulty in performing the activity of everyday life, keeping up social obligations, and concentrating on any tasks that may need doing.
