Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis is a progressive inflammatory disease that affects the joints. Many individuals suffering from rheumatoid arthritis are unable to work due to this chronic condition.
If you are suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, we can apply our knowledge and experience toward helping you seek benefits if you are unable to work due to your condition.
Lupus
Lupus is an autoimmune disease that makes the body attack healthy tissue. Lupus may affect the skin, heart, lungs, blood vessels, and other organs. Treatment for lupus varies greatly, depending on each individual's symptoms and medical needs.
Social Security Disability benefits may be available for people who have been diagnosed with lupus. In order to qualify, the individual with lupus must meet the Social Security Administration's classification of an autoimmune disease, and other criteria must be met. Contact our firm to find out about your specific options for seeking SSD benefits for lupus.
Lyme Disease
Lyme disease is included on the Social Security Administration's list of impairments under "inflammatory arthritis" in the Immune System Disorders section. It is possible for an individual with Lyme disease to successfully obtain benefits if the disease causes some sort of impairment or restriction. For this reason, it is especially important for individuals who have been diagnosed with Lyme disease to get proper treatment and obtain medical documentation to be used in proving the disease.
