Exploring All Options When Pursuing Claims

Our only focus is on getting you the disability benefits you need. While it can be difficult to pursue claims involving lupus, you can count on us to pursue all legal avenues for securing benefits. Unfortunately, the Social Security Administration (SSA) can only grant benefits for disabilities that can be shown, and lupus is not something will show up on some common medical tests, such as X-rays.

While lupus is an autoimmune disorder that can be mistaken for many other conditions, one telltale sign in some sufferers is a rash across the nose and both cheeks that resembles a butterfly. If you have this symptom or any of the following, contact a doctor:

  • Joint pain or swelling
  • Fatigue
  • Shortness of breath and chest pain
  • Lesions on the skin

We will work closely with you and your doctor to demonstrate your symptoms and show how they are preventing you from working. To qualify for SSDI/SSI benefits, you must be unable to work for a continuous period of at least 12 months. If you are able to return eventually, you may be able to receive back pay for your closed period of disability.
