Is a Respiratory Problem Keeping You Out of Work?
A serious respiratory condition can keep you from working and earning a paycheck. Respiratory conditions can cause shortness of breath, fatigue, lightheadedness and other problems that make it impossible to do most jobs. If you are afflicted with a breathing problem such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), you may be able to secure Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits.

We understand how a respiratory condition can affect your ability to work, and we know how to communicate your problem to the Social Security Administration. We are committed to helping you secure the benefits you need and deserve.

Respiratory Conditions and SSD Claims
Because respiratory conditions limit the body's intake of oxygen, they can have wide-ranging effects that go beyond breathing problems. The body as well as the brain needs constant oxygen flow, and people in both physically and mentally demanding jobs can be significantly hampered from performing their job duties and adjusting to other work.
We provide legal representation to people suffering from respiratory conditions such as:
- Asthma
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
- Mesothelioma
- Emphysema
- Chronic cough
- Cystic fibrosis
In pursuing an SSD claim, it is very important to continue your medical treatment and follow your doctor's orders. The SSA places a strong emphasis on documentation of medical conditions when deciding whether to accept or deny a claim. Your respiratory condition may be severe and might be keeping you permanently out of work, but if you can't prove it to the SSA, they will deny your claim.
Our lawyers know what evidence the SSA is looking for and how to present it to them. We can give you advice on how to work with your doctor to increase your chances of success. We can help you through all stages of the SSD process, from the initial claim to the appeals process.
