Is lupus covered by social security disability?

Lupus is not listed as one of the covered impairments in the social security disability blue book that lists impairments, which means that you must prove that your lupus is severe enough to preclude you from working. Generally, this means you must undergo an SSA disability evaluation process in which the SSA determines just how disabled you are. This may include looking at how many daily activities you are unable to do, and how your disability affects your life. You should speak to an experienced disability lawyer who can help you file your claim with the SSA for lupus disability benefits and who can help you understand the types of evidence you need to collect in order to obtain lupus disability benefits.
