SSD Benefits for Cystic Fibrosis

Cystic fibrosis, a hereditary disease, can affect children and adults alike. For those living with this chronic lung disease, it can be difficult to participate in regular daily activities. Moreover, it can be impossible to maintain a job and earn a living wage. It is for these individuals that the Social Security Administration (SSA) provides Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits.

Eligibility Requirements for SSD Benefits for Cystic Fibrosis

Whether you are an adult seeking Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits or a parent seeking Supplemental Security Income (SSI) for your child, it is important to understand that there are certain medical requirements that must first be met. According to the SSA's Blue Book, you must:

Have a specific forced expiratory volume (FEV) level,
Experience at least six episodes of bronchitis or respiratory failure in one year, or
Have persistent pulmonary infections with bacterial infections at least once every six months.

Each of these must be supported with sufficient medical records. In addition, you may have to submit to a physical examination by an independent medical examiner. There are specific forms that you must fill out and submit properly. If any step in this process is missed or taken incorrectly, you could risk having your claim denied.
