Can I automatically get disability benefits if I am blind?

As you will discover, nothing is guaranteed when applying for Social Security benefits. You are entitled to receive disability benefits if you meet Social Security’s definition of blindness. In order to be eligible for benefits, you must have a vision of 20/200 or worse in your best eye when using corrective lenses. You must also meet a lessened credit requirement to be insured.
