Treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) depends on the severity of the condition and how long you have had it. In some cases, CTS will improve after a few months without treatment. Moving your hand or shaking your wrist can often help relieve the symptoms.
The Social Security Administration has a strict definition of permanent disability, and it only pays benefits to people who cannot work because they have a medical condition that is expected to last at least one year or result in death.
The Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program ends when you reach full retirement age. You cannot get SSDI if you become disabled after full retirement age. But, many people younger than their SSA full retirement age may be eligible for the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program after retiring early from the workforce. It does not matter whether the person ever intended to work again.
