When someone turns 65, SSDI benefits typically convert automatically to Social Security retirement benefits — they don't just stop. It's worth double-checking with the Social Security Administration (SSA) directly to clarify what happened in your specific case, as the details matter a lot here. That said, if you are looking to apply or reapply for disability benefits due to your heart condition, the SSA does recognize several heart-related conditions as qualifying disabilities, including:
- Chronic heart failure
- Ischemic heart disease
- Recurrent arrhythmias
- Symptomatic congenital heart disease
- Heart transplant
- Aneurism of the aorta or major branches
To qualify, your condition must be medically documented and must prevent you from engaging in substantial work activity. The best first step is to contact your local Social Security office directly to understand your options. They can clarify your eligibility and guide you through next steps. You can find your local office through the SSA website at ssa.gov.
