Social Security Disability Benefits for Scleroderma

A Closer Look at Social Security Disability Benefits for Scleroderma

Sharon Christie on Social Security Disability Benefits for Scleroderma

Today Sharon Christie from Sharon Christie Law takes a closer look at Social Security Disability Benefits for Scleroderma. Scleroderma is an autoimmune condition, and at Sharon Christie Law we have represented many clients who suffer from scleroderma in their quest for Social Security Disability Benefits. So how can scleroderma become a case for Social Security Disability Benefits? The first thing we look at is what are the symptoms that you are having that are affecting you right now. For example, do you have stiffness, do you have the inability to move your joints? There are many other things that we would look at, but those are just a couple of examples of some of the symptoms that we would be looking for in trying to determine how severe your impairments are.

Remember what we are always looking for with disability is do you have severe limitations from your condition or multiple conditions, but in this case, we really focus on the scleroderma. Do you have severe limitations affecting your day-to-day activities because of the scleroderma or do you have severe limitations related to the treatment of this condition? If so scleroderma absolutely can be a basis for Social Security Disability Benefits. We just have to look at the specifics of how it affects you, but if your condition is limiting you to the point that you were not functioning well at work and you think that you are going to have to quit soon, or you have already had to stop working because of your symptoms that can very well be a basis for a good Social Security Disability Case.
