Social Security Disability and Skin Disorders
Some people believe that a skin condition alone can't possibly be enough to prevent someone from being able to earn a living.
Those people are wrong.
At Shifrin Newman Smith Inc., we understand just how debilitating certain types of skin conditions can be, and we have the experience it will take to convince the Social Security Administration (SSA) of that fact in your case. Helping people obtain disability benefits from the government is our only focus. And having successfully helped thousands of people throughout the state of Ohio leads us to believe that we can help you too.

Help your own cause. The Social Security Administration will be more inclined to view your claim favorably if the evidence shows that you have sought medical treatment, followed doctor's orders and avoided doing things to aggravate your condition.
Disabling Skin Problems
Skin disorders are covered in sections 8.00 (adults) and 108.00 (children) of the Social Security Administration's impairment listings. Specific conditions that have been recognized as disabling include:
- Ichthyosis
- Bullious disease
- Chronic infections of the skin or mucous membranes
- Dermatitis-type conditions, including psoriasis and dyshidrosis
- Hidradenitis suppurativa
- Genetic photosensitivity disorders
- Burns
What We Do to Help
As your lawyers, we will gather the necessary medical evidence (which is a service many firms won't provide) and will even cover the cost of obtaining medical records if you can't afford it. In addition, we will work with your doctor to make sure your symptoms and conditions are documented according to the SSA's requirements. Last, our firm may even be able to connect you with free and low-cost medical providers in your area.
