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.
