IBS Disability and Social Security

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) are closely related and often confused. While both can cause severe discomfort, IBS is known as a functional disorder with no damage caused to the bowel. IBD, however, causes more serious problems to the digestive system like inflammation and ulcers.

While IBS is not generally an approved condition to receive SSI benefits, IBD is. If you suffer from IBD, working with an attorney who specializes in social security law can be very helpful as you navigate the IBS Social Security disability application process. You and your lawyer should work to ensure that your IBD SSI application includes evidence of all your medical visits, symptoms and complications.

As you continue throughout the application process, keep in mind that it's very likely to be denied IBD SSI benefits. In that case, you and your lawyer will appeal the ruling and continue seeking SSI disability benefits for your IBD.
