Can I Claim Disability for Arthritis?

To get Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits for inflammatory arthritis, you must provide the correct medical evidence to the Social Security Administration (SSA). In this case, you should submit a medical history, physical exam, blood tests and X-rays. Additionally, your doctor must document the severity of your disease and the extent to which it prevents you from working and completing daily activities.
