Disability & Meds
I was wondering how can a person get disability when they use meds to help them feel better, but continue to try to get disability? Won't the disability group say, "Well, if you are using meds to feel better, then you can work and you feel good so you can't get disability." Or......do you not take your meds to help with the case? I am just curious, cuz there are days when I used to feel like my meds won't work forever or can't afford them. But I can work now, just the fatigue is killing me sometimes. Please help..................thank you in advance. Kristy
I think that if the meds aren't working well enough to make it half way comfortable to work then you would still qualify for disability. I could be wrong but I think there is such a thing as a partial disability too. I have a friend with back problems but even his hard core meds don't make it possible for him to work. In fact his meds are so strong he couldn't work and take them because they affect his ability to function well. So just the fact that you are still having difficulty with fatigue should still qualify for some amount of disability. Best of luck!!
Under SSDI you must be disabled from the illness or the side effects of the medications used treat the illness. If fatigue is disabling as a primary symptom or as a side effect you may qualify for disability.
NOLO puts out a book with the SS code by illness. It describes in detail the qualifying factors to be approved for disability under Social Security. If you meet their standard you will meet any insurance company standard.
