Autoimmune diseases happen when your body’s immune system attacks another part of the body. This abnormal situation often causes lifelong pain, disability, and dysfunction of one or more parts of the body. Autoimmune diseases may make it impossible for you to work, which is why you might need a disability attorney in Maryville to assist you with the application and appeals process for social security disability.
There are many types of autoimmune disorders, and they can have different effects on your body. Many people with autoimmune diseases have to go back and forth to multiple doctors to get a diagnosis and for treatment. Some of these disorders have treatments that do not fully relieve you from the pain or symptoms. When your condition is difficult to manage, or the current treatments do not alleviate your pain or other problems, you may need to apply for disability through the Social Security Administration.
Autoimmune disorders can affect anybody, but they are more common in women, people over the age of 40 and people with a family history of autoimmune disorders. Once you are diagnosed with one autoimmune disease, you are more likely to develop another autoimmune condition at some point in your life. This could compound your disability and increase your need for disability income, home health care services and other types of assistance.
It is important to understand how autoimmune disorders lead to disabilities and how such conditions are viewed by the Social Security Administration when you file an initial claim or an appeal for denial of coverage.
