Can migranes congenital nystagmus and cataracts qualify for disability?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Disability is based on lack of function, not the reason for the lack of function. For example, you are considered disabled if you are legally blind, regardless of the cause of the blindness. It it possible that nystagmus and cataracts might cause visual dysfunction to the point of legal blindness.
