Most of you people are here because of getting information whether you are qualified for disability benefits or not. The answer to this particular question is still under inquiry. Despite this, A closet answer can see in Social Security Blue Book.

People can automatically qualify for benefits explained by an online system called Disability Evaluation Under Social Security. This system provides specific physical and mental disorders to be eligible for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Social Security Income (SSI).

By "automatically", It means that Social Security recognizes a person who meets a particular definition of Disability (Any medical condition that does not allow you to work more than a year and the end result of this is only death).

For SSDI Qualification: Limited time work in which you paid your Social Security Taxes. For SSI Qualification: At least minimum income and an asset.

Social Security Administration (SSA) describes a list of medical conditions which shows eligibility criteria. If you are unable to find your impairment then you don't need to worry about it. You are still eligible for disability benefits according to other guidelines given by SSA.
