Eastern Missouri & Southern Illinois Social Security Disability Lawyers
Depending on the severity of the symptoms and how physically taxing a job is, suffering from lung disease can make it nearly impossible to work. If you are unable to work for a continuous period of at least 12 months due to lung disease, discussing your options with a seasoned attorney is in your best interest.

Strong Advocates for the Victims of Lung Disease
There is a wide variety of lung diseases that could make you eligible to receive Social Security disability benefits, including:
- Asthma
- Emphysema
- Chronic pulmonary insufficiency
- Pneumoconiosis
- Cystic fibrosis
- Chronic lung infections
Our attorneys will work closely with you, guiding you through every step of the process. It will be important to receive medical treatment in a timely fashion and have the symptoms of your illness properly documented.
Your Disease Does Not Have to Be Permanent
You must be unable to work for a continuous period of at least 12 months, but you can still receive benefits if you can go back to work. You will likely be able to receive back pay for a "closed period" of disability.
