Which Chronic Pain Illnesses Count As Disabilities?
It can be quite difficult to claim disability benefits when you suffer from chronic pain illnesses. This is because many of these illnesses are diagnosed through patient-described symptoms. To be eligible to receive disability benefits for any illness or disability, you need a medical provider to support that you cannot work.
Even though chronic pain illnesses are difficult to diagnose and to verify, there is no doubt that they are debilitating including Crohn’s and colitis.
Adam’s Ulcerative Colitis Story
Adam was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis when he was seventeen, and he had learned how to manage his symptoms.
He was on medication, but began to have flare-ups of pain, cramps, and weight loss. The flare-ups were making it difficult for him to complete certain aspects of his job. One day, Adam had the regional and national sales managers come to his store for a tour to see how he operated on a day-to-day basis. Adam had to be in the bathroom so frequently that he barely spoke to either manager and received a negative performance review because he appeared to be unwilling to help customers by not being present.
