Obtaining Social Security Disability Insurance for Sjogren’s Syndrome

We Simplify the SSDI Claims Process for Sjögren's Syndrome

Sjögren's syndrome, also called Mikulicz disease and Sicca syndrome, is an autoimmune disease that is listed in the Social Security Administration's (SSA) immune system disorder section of the listing of impairments. It is also associated with other autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis.

General symptoms of Sjögren's syndrome are similar to other autoimmune diseases and include infection and severe fatigue, fever, malaise or involuntary weight loss. Additional symptoms of this disorder include dry eyes and dry mouth, possible corneal damage, dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), tooth decay, a persistent dry cough, and the inability to speak for lengthy periods. We will show how these symptoms significantly impair your daily living, social functioning or timely task completion due to lack of concentration, persistence or pace.

Schwartzapfel Partners P.C., understands the SSA impairment listing and will make sure you have the necessary medical evidence for your condition. Our attorneys' experience with Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits claims will make the process easier for you.

Additional Complications You Can Document

Sjögren's syndrome is an immunomediated disorder of the exocrine glands. Additional organ systems may be involved and cause complications such as:

  • Musculoskeletal system (arthritis, myositis)
  • Respiratory system (interstitial fibrosis)
  • Digestive system (dysmotility, dysphagia, involuntary weight loss)
  • Genitourinary impairments (interstitial cystitis, renal tubular acidosis)
  • Skin disorders (purpura, vasculitis)
  • Neurological disorders (central nervous system disorders, cranial and peripheral neuropathies)
  • Mental disorders (cognitive dysfunction, poor memory)
  • Malignant neoplastic diseases (lymphoma)

As with other chronic disorders, people who have Sjögren's may suffer from depression, anxiety or other mental disorders from the stress of living with the disease.
