I have heard that lupus is not covered under Social Security claims. Is this true?
A:
Lupus can be reviewed for Florida Social Security disability benefits. Systemic lupus erythematosus is included in the Social Security Administration’s listing of impairments. It is an immune disorder that attacks different parts of the body. Just like any debilitating condition, victims can apply for disability benefits; however, just because you have been diagnosed with the condition doesn’t mean that you will receive benefits.
People with lupus have been approved for Social Security disability benefits in Florida, and others have been denied. This is because lupus affects everyone differently, and not everyone is truly disabled by this condition. Additionally, some people do not fully complete their claims or do not provide supporting documentation like they should.
This is why it is important to have an experienced Broward County disability attorney help you file your disability claim for lupus so that it is done correctly. Find out if you may be eligible for disability benefits in Florida from a skilled Fort Lauderdale disability attorney today.

FAQs
Social Security Disability Insurance
- I have taken over the counter pain relievers for years. My Broward County M.D. just told me I may be at risk for liver disease, or Cirrhosis. I’m not even a drinker, is that possible?
- Many years ago I was diagnosed with epilepsy. At that time, I was able to control my condition with medication, and my Broward County employer gave me permission to work from home. Now that I’m having more seizures, I am concerned that it is not safe for me to be working anymore. I heard I may qualify for disability benefits. What should I do now?
- My blood disorder doesn’t necessarily fit the listing requirement that Social Security has in place. Does that mean that I may not qualify for disability benefits?
