Is Your Rheumatoid Arthritis Curable?
For many people, this ailment can be treated through a variety of medications. But if treatment cannot eliminate or sufficiently reduce your symptoms, you may be eligible for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits. To qualify, you will have to demonstrate that your symptoms make it impossible for you to work for a continuous period of at least 12 months.
If you are able to go back to work, but were out of work for more than 12 months due to your symptoms, you may be able to receive back pay for your "closed period" of disability.
