I do believe so. My neighbor is bipolar and she receives it
Answer: Yes you can receive Social Security for Bipolar illness. If a person has been diagnosed by a doctor, they will need to take their medical records to the local Social Security office and apply. It is NOT an easy task. You will be denied, probably several times, before/if you are approved. You will need to find an attorney that specializes in disability social security issues. That is VERY crucial. The process takes years and during that time, you will need to continuously see a doctor and keep records of all of your visits and medications taken. Your doctor will also need to fill out a form regarding his/her experiences and observations regarding your illness. Once you are approved, you will receive a lump-sum compensation check for the time that you waited for your approval (the time period between your application submission and your actual approval). You will then begin to receive monthly checks. I believe the amount of your monthly checks are based on your employment history. You will have to go before a judge several times before this process is complete.
