Combination of diagnoses is it all a disability?

Combination of diagnoses is it all a disability?

Hello,
   I've been told by a few different doctors that I have:
Sick Sinus Syndrome - had pacemaker implanted
Fibromyalgia
Severe Carpel Tunnel Syndrome
Planter Faciatits
Severe Hammer Toes
Arthritis in Right Hip
   I have also been told the only thing that will help my hands & feet is surgery.
My question is, with all of these problems would I be eligible for SSDI?

Hi grannybolt.
Welcome to the forum.
You seem to have enough health issues to be eligible.
However meeting the SSDI criteria and getting approved is another story.
It is usually a huge undertaking, even sometimes in clear cut cases!
A  Disability Consultant may be your best option for getting accurate advice on this. Just do a search for your area.
As far as the suggested surgery, you may want to get another opinion before making this decision.
Take care.
