Nolo's Guide to Social Security Disability
Written by a former SSA medical consultant, Nolo's Guide to Social Security Disability contains a whole section on autoimmune and immune deficiency disorders and how to get disability for each.
Abnormal functioning of the immune system can result in connective tissue disorders as well as other autoimmune diseases like celiac disease. Some connective tissue disorders, such as scleroderma or lupus, can be debilitating or even life threatening.
Another set of medical problems occur when someone has low immune functioning, as with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS).
For most of these medical conditions, Social Security has official disability listings, which lay out the requirements for qualifying for disability benefits for each disorder.
