Two people with the same condition can have very different outcomes depending on the facts in their individual cases. I encourage you to contact a lawyer in your area to review your case. A lawyer can help evaluate your chances and help you build your case. However, no one can guarantee how Social Security will decide a case. Ultimately, it is a matter of applying and seeing what SSA says. Hi Viviane,

I was put on a blood pressure medication in 2002 which helped somewhat. In January of this year I was put on high cholesterol  meds, which started symptoms of my tremor worse than before, I also have twitching in my face. I am scared to look a job because of my condition.  can I collect SSI?  Please Email me at vivenegoulbourne@gmail.com.

It sounds like you are receiving disability bases on a deceased person's earnings and contribution to Social Security (survivor's disability) rather than disability benefits based on your own earnings and contribution to Social Security (“regular” disability).

Since I cannot offer legal advice through this site, I can't answer your question about whether you can work any differently than what this article already says.

If an individual's work is a Substantial Gainful Activity (for 2009, $980 per month before any deductions), Social Security may decide that they are no longer disabled and stop their benefits. This article discusses that topic and some of the other problems that can come up EVEN IF the work is not a SGA.
