COPD Disability Impairment SSDI and SSI Benefits

COPD or Cardiac Obstructive Pulmonary Disease is a condition that is difficult to control and qualifies for Social Security Disability (SSDI, and SSI Disability) benefits. To win disability benefits for a COPD case, the claimant must provide documentation that fulfills the SSA requirements (Social Security Administration) for disability benefits.

COPD patients should see their doctor regularly. Make sure you inform your doctor if you are feeling shortness of breath--tell your doctor how often this occurs and when it happens. For example, do you feel shortness of breath when you are walking across a room, carrying a bag or groceries, etc). Have you been experiencing chest pain? If you are, make sure to describe this chest pain to your doctor. Tell your doctor how long you must rest to recover from chest pain. This information helps your doctor adjust your COPD treatment plan and later will help you with your Social Security disability claim because this information should also be recorded by your doctor in your medical records.

For matters of a COPD SSDI or COPD SSI Disability claim, it is important to gather medical documentation to help present your COPD disability benefits claim to the Social Security Administration. If you are not currently working with a disability attorney with Cardiac Obstructive Pulmonary Disease disability benefits experience, you may want to consider contacting a COPD Social Security Disability Attorney. Your disability benefits attorney will help you present the proper questions to your doctors and can be a resource through the disability claims process.
