Evaluation of Skin Disorders for New York Disability: What Information Do I Need?

Many people underestimate the suffering that comes with serious skin disorders - until they experience it personally. If you suffer from a disabling skin condition, you know that every movement and every moment can be painful and uncomfortable. If you're having trouble working or just getting though the day, maybe it's time to start thinking about applying for disability for skin disease.

The evaluation and diagnosis of a skin disorder can be a long and difficult process, and it takes a strong case to prove that your skin disorder is interfering with your life and daily functioning to the point that you qualify for Social Security disability in New York for your chronic skin condition. Although specific conditions are listed by Social Security disability as covered afflictions, your condition may need to meet certain requirements for severity. Non-covered disorders could also be covered if it can be proven that it interferes with your functioning to a severe degree.

How often you experience flare-ups and what triggers a flare-up
How any skin lesions look, including size and where on your body they appear
Your ability to function with the skin condition
Laboratory findings (biopsies and blood tests)
The general outlook for your skin condition and if it is expected to improve
