Respiratory disorders include any illness that affects the ability of the lungs is to provide sufficient oxygen to the body, including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), sarcoidosis, cystic fibrosis, chronic lung infections, and lung cancer. In determining whether you are eligible for disability benefits, the SSA will consider the results of lung function tests and any restrictions your doctor has placed on you.
