Asthma Advocates: Social Security Disability Claims for Asthma

Navigating Life with Asthma

Breathing-related medical conditions, such as asthma, can be incredibly distressing and debilitating. Asthma attacks may be triggered by numerous environmental and emotional factors, including physical activity, stress, pollutants, temperature changes, humidity, perfumes, cigarette smoke, animals, and other airborne irritants. When an asthma attack occurs, the airways constrict, severely limiting the ability to breathe comfortably.

We recognize your desire to continue working, but asthma can create serious risks every time you step out the door. Binder & Binder® deeply understands the challenges faced by our clients dealing with asthma and other pulmonary disorders. We specialize in assisting individuals in filing their Social Security Disability (SSD) claims, ensuring they receive the support necessary to provide for themselves and their families.

Asthma and Social Security Disability Eligibility

Currently, asthma has no cure, though medications can help manage symptoms. However, for some individuals, asthma significantly diminishes their quality of life, rendering them unable to maintain employment. Because of its potentially severe impacts, asthma is officially recognized by the Social Security Administration (SSA) as a disabling medical condition under respiratory impairments.

If your asthma frequently and severely disrupts your ability to work for a period of 12 months or more, you may qualify for disability benefits. To receive SSD benefits for asthma, you must provide comprehensive medical documentation, including detailed records from healthcare providers and statements verifying the severity of your condition. Binder & Binder® can help determine your eligibility and expertly manage the complexities of filing and proving your asthma disability claim.
