Private Insurance

Yes, a person covered by a company or individual Disability policy can qualify for disability benefits if disabled due to Alcoholism.

Most group policies and some individual policies will restrict these benefits to a maximum benefit period of 2 years, unless the claimant is in a hospital or institution at the end of the 24-month period.

In most circumstances, one of the requirements in qualifying for Disability benefits is that you must be under the care of a physician. Therefore, you must be diagnosed with alcoholism by members of the medical profession, in order for it to be legitimate.

Social Security Disability (SSDI)

Drug addiction or alcoholism, alone, are not a qualifying conditions for disability according to SSA guidelines.
