Actually, you should tell Social Security about all of your medical conditions that cause work-related limitations. Social Security must consider the combined effect of all of your medical impairments. It would be a mistake to not tell Social Security about all of your conditions. For Social Security purposes you are either "disabled" or "not disabled."
There is no in between, and there are no extra benefits for greater severity. Disability insurance benefit amounts are determined by earnings history. Supplemental Security Income amounts are determined by your financial status, sometimes including the resources and income of family members. Maybe the quickest way to lose your credibility and ruin a perfectly good claim is exaggeration.
Social Security doctors will review your medical records to see if they match up with what you say about your medical conditions. If there is not a reasonable match, your chance of winning plummets. The Social Security program is going broke, and there won't be any money to pay benefits in the future.

Family and friends can provide evidence about your disability.
The Social Security Administration and the courts recognize the importance of statements from non-medical sources, which can include your family and friends, as well as social workers, clergy, former co-workers, rehabilitation counselors and job coaches, teachers, and others.
These other sources may help Social Security understand how a medical condition affects a claimant's ability to work.
Statements made by these people about a claimant's restrictions, daily activities, efforts to work, and other issues, are included in Social Security's definition of "evidence."
