If a disability for which benefits were payable ends but recurs because of the same or related causes no more than 90 days after the end of the prior disability, it will be considered a resumption of the prior disability.

Sometimes headaches are so debilitating that people actually become eligible for SSDI or Social Security Disability Insurance. Social Security does not offer any partial disability coverage, only full coverage for approved disabilities. You are considered disabled if you can no longer perform the tasks you did before, and you cannot transition to other gainful employment. In some cases, headaches are severe enough to put you into this category.
