Idiopathic hypersomnia can qualify for disability under certain conditions, particularly if it significantly impairs an individual's ability to work and perform daily activities. To qualify, a person would typically need to provide medical documentation demonstrating the severity of their symptoms and how they impact functioning. The Social Security Administration (SSA) evaluates such cases on an individual basis, considering factors like the frequency and duration of excessive sleepiness and related complications. Consulting with a healthcare provider or a disability attorney can help navigate the application process.
