A gambling addiction can qualify as a disability under Social Security guidelines if it significantly impairs an individual's ability to function in daily life or maintain employment. To qualify for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI), the condition must be severe and meet specific criteria outlined in the Social Security Administration's listings. Applicants typically need to provide medical documentation and evidence of how the addiction affects their daily activities. However, approval can be challenging and often depends on the severity of the addiction and its impact on overall health.

Maybe. You need more than a diagnosis to qualify for Social Security Disability (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI).

The Disability Determinations Specialists will review your medical and employment records, and probably schedule you for a medical and/or psychological evaluation before making a decision.
