There is a list that exists - called a List of Impairments - that describes medical diseases, illnesses, and conditions that are considered to be so severe that if you are diagnosed with a condition on the list, then you are automatically considered to be disabled by law.

There is a chance that your medical condition isn't on the list, but that your condition very closely resembles a condition on the list and your limitations are similar to those limitations for conditions included on the list.  If that is the case, then you may also automatically be considered to be disabled.  If your medical confition isn't included on the list, however, then you may not be disabled after all.

Usually, a claimant's condition is not listed on the List of Impairments and a hearing will have to be requested.  At that time it is in your best interest to obtain legal representation from a qualified Social Security attorney that knows how to best present your case before the administrative law judge.
