Disability benefits for Alcoholism can vary significantly based on individual circumstances and the policies of the relevant disability program. In the U.S., the Social Security Administration (SSA) typically does not provide benefits solely for alcoholism unless it leads to other disabling conditions or significantly impairs daily functioning. If a person meets the SSA's criteria for a substance use disorder and demonstrates a severe impairment, they may be eligible for benefits, but ongoing eligibility will be reassessed periodically. The duration of benefits depends on the individual's recovery progress and ability to work.
