Resources & Support
With nearly 2 million Americans living with lupus, and another 16,000 newly diagnosed each year, there is a vast support system for those with the disease. Resources, groups, online communities, and knowledgeable friends and family, can provide help – and hope.
Are You Eligible for Social Security Disability?
As you know, lupus affects people in different ways. Everyone’s disease, essentially, is different. For those with severe cases of lupus, the disease can be debilitating. But is it a disability, as defined by the government? And if so, why would that matter? It matters because, if you are unable to work due to your illness, you may qualify and want to apply for Social Security benefits and disability insurance. Those benefits may bridge the economic gap for many Americans.
