Disability Due to Severe Skin Disorders and Conditions
Severe skin conditions can cause disability if they affect the individual's proper functioning at work. These conditions or disorders may result from hereditary, congenital or acquired pathological processes.
Qualifying skin conditions
Some medical conditions that qualify for disability due to skin disorders are:
- Dermatitis
- Severe burns
- Hidradenitis suppurativa
- Chronic infections
- Severe skin disorder
- Genetic photosensitivity disorders
- Psoriasis
This is not a complete list. There are other skin conditions that Social Security considers to be disabling. They evaluate each case individually with its medical evidence. It is important that you are well oriented before beginning the application process to obtain your disability benefits.
How to apply for Social Security Disability for skin disorders
Remember that not all skin conditions necessarily qualify for Social Security benefits. You could also have another condition not listed here, but be eligible. You need to have accumulated work credits, a medical record with diagnosis and treatment for your condition, and demonstrate that it affects or prevents you from working normally, among other details. We can guide and assist you through the process of applying for disability benefits from start to finish.
Consult our Social Security attorneys about the requirements and process to request your benefits. Avoid delays or problems in the approval process.
Your consultation is free. You have nothing to lose. We do not charge anything until your case is approved.
