Yes, you can get disability for social phobia, also called social anxiety disorder. Social phobia can be debilitating to the point where you are not able to go to places with crowds of people due to your social anxiety. However, disability would be warranted only for severe cases, where the person is homebound and not able to venture ourside the home. People with social phobia can usually get around large crowds of people by shopping at night, or going to places where and when there are not alot of people around.
