Disability COPD Lawyer in Akron
Disability Benefits for Severe Breathing Problems
It's hard to hold any kind of job when you are constantly fatigued or are unable to walk far, lift much or engage in any kind of physical activity for very long. But this is exactly what a severe breathing problem can force you to try to do. Day in and day out.
If you just can't do this anymore, or if you have already tried to apply for Social Security Disability (DIB or SSI) and were denied benefits — you will find the kind of experienced legal help you need at the Ohio disability law firm of Shifrin Newman Smith Inc.
Government disability claims have been our sole focus since 1985. The consultation is free; there are no attorney fees to pay unless we win. Just call 877-230-5500 or contact us online.
Help your own cause. If you smoke and have heart problems or breathing problems of any type, we can't urge you strongly enough to find a way to quit as soon as possible. The Social Security Administration (SSA) doesn't like to award benefits to people who keep themselves disabled by continuing to engage in drug, alcohol, or tobacco abuse.
Government Listings for Breathing Problems
Breathing problems are covered in sections 3.00 (adults) and 103.00 (children) of the SSA's listing of impairments. Specific conditions that have been recognized as disabling include:
- Chronic bronchitis or pneumonia
- Asthma
- Emphysema

- Cystic fibrosis
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
