JeriM,

I've never seen a list of specific diseases/conditions that are eligible or ineligible for state disability claims. This page says that eligibility depends on being "unable to do your regular or customary work", something a doctor must certify. You fill out the "Claimant's Statement" and the doctor fills out the "Physician/Practitioner's Certificate". It's called Form DE 2501.

You can apply online or use the printed form. If it's the printed form, make sure it's the latest one. There's also Form DE 2500A, used to "renew" your disability claim after a period of time.

If you learn more about your eligibility by talking to your doctor about the limitations you currently have and by going through the application process, please let us know how it turns out, since others have asked similar questions.

This information is only about STATE disability eligibility.
