Types of Respiratory Conditions
A disabling lung condition doesn't have to be a diagnosed disease or illness. Instead, it may just be a severe infection. A diagnosis helps determine the source of your problems, but you need to show that the condition is disabling and keeps you from working. Common respiratory problems that lead to disabilities include:
- Asthma
- Cystic Fibrosis
- Chronic Bronchitis
- Pneumonia
- Lung transplants
- Pulmonary Embolism (a blood clot that travels to the lungs)
Some more common respiratory problems, such as the common cold, can become severe problems if not treated by a qualified medical professional. If you can, visit your doctor to treat the condition in its beginning stages. More advanced conditions can prevent a person from working and earning an income for themselves or their families.
Multiple Benefits
If your respiratory condition is the result of working in a factory or other setting that exposed you to fumes, chemicals, or airborne hazards, you may be dealing with a workers' compensation claim. The Coye Law Firm can pursue benefits for your disability anywhere they exist, whether through disability insurance, personal injury, or workers' compensation claims.
Establishing Disability
In order to get your lost wages covered by SSI, SSD, Veteran's disability benefits, or disability insurance, you will need to demonstrate how the condition is affecting your ability to work. Difficulty breathing can prevent you from doing many jobs, so you'll want to use specific examples and words to describe your pain and suffering. A lung transplant, for example, makes it difficult to do anything, let alone work. To prove that this condition is a disability, you'll want to tell an adjuster or representative if you can not feed yourself or need assistance bathing.
