Auto-Immune Diseases That Keep You From Working
Your immune system protects your body from getting sick, so when it doesn't work properly — when you are "immunosuppressed" — you may find that you get sick more easily than others. You may be so sick, in fact, that your doctor says you cannot work.
If this happens, you have options. You may be able to work with Binder & Binder® to file a successful Social Security Disability claim for early payment of monthly benefits through the SSA.
At Binder & Binder®, we represent clients suffering from many different illnesses attacking their immune systems. Some of these auto-immune diseases are listed below:
- Fibromyalgia
- HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus)
- AIDS
- Lupus
- RSD (Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy)
- Arthritis
- Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS/CFIDS)
- Connective tissue disorder
- Multiple chemical sensitivity
- Sjogren's syndrome
- Raynaud's disease
- Scleroderma
- Systemic sclerosis
AIDS, HIV and Your Medical Record
If the SSA approves you for benefits, it does so by reviewing the information found in your medical record. For this reason, it is important that your records document the limiting effects of HIV, AIDS or another Auto-Immune Disease.
When helping you apply for disability, the helpful staff members at Binder & Binder® gather a full listing of your treatment sources, dates of treatment, names of doctors and the medical conditions with which you have been diagnosed. This medical information is often critical in these cases, since you may have limited time and the pain can be so severe.
