Indiana residents suffering from Lupus can find themselves unable to work, but at the same time denied the Social Security disability benefits they are due. Indiana Social Security disability attorney Scott Lewis has helped individuals diagnosed with Lupus receive their Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and/or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits. If you are experiencing symptoms from Lupus that are preventing you from working it may be time to file an application for Social Security disability benefits.
Lupus is an autoimmune disease that can take a toll on various body parts. Lupus can result in swelling and inflammation effecting joints, skin, the heart, kidneys, and various other body parts. Many individuals suffering from Lupus complain of pain and various other symptoms. While the exact cause or causes of Lupus are still unknown, many physicians believe it may be a combination of environmental and genetic factors.
The Social Security Administration (SSA) does acknowledge Lupus in its Listing of Impairments under Listing 14.00 Immune System Disorders. Not all individuals may meet or equal a listing to receive Social Security disability benefits. If you do not meet a listing, you may have such a reduced physical residual functional capacity that you are unable to work a full time job and this could entitle you to benefits. At times, an individual’s inability to sit, stand, walk, and lift may be so diminished due to the effects of Lupus that they are simply unable to work. Pain may also be taken into account when the Social Security Administration is assessing your inability to work.
If you find the symptoms of Lupus or any other disabling condition is preventing you from working you may be entitled to Social Security disability benefits. Scott D. Lewis is an experienced disability lawyer and handles a wide variety of disabling conditions including cancer, diabetes, heart disease, irritable bowel syndrome, and depression just to name a few.
