Seeking Help from Disability Attorneys in Florida for Immune System Disorders

If you have been diagnosed with an immune system disorder, you may want to know if you are eligible for Social Security disability benefits. Disability attorneys in Florida can evaluate your case to determine eligibility. The determination of benefits will depend not only on your condition, but also if you are unable to engage in substantial gainful activity.

Pursuing disability benefits can be a time-consuming and complicated process.

To better understand the intricacies of a disability case and how determination of disability benefits is made, it is best to seek legal counsel.

A Closer Look at Immune System Disorders

The immune system is a vital part of the body that helps fight off germs and bacteria. A compromised immune system could lead to serious, even deadly, health conditions.

The category of impairments for immune system disorders that may make an individual eligible for disability benefits includes:

  • systemic lupus erythematosus;
  • systemic vasculitis;
  • systemic sclerosis (scleroderma);
  • polymyositis and dermatomyositis;
  • undifferentiated and mixed connective tissue disease;
  • immune deficiency disorders, excluding HIV infection;
  • human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection;
  • inflammatory arthritis; and
  • Sjögren's syndrome.


Within each category there are specific criteria that must also be met in order to qualify for Social Security disability benefits.

How Disability Attorneys in Florida Can Help
