Getting Social Security Disability Benefits for Lupus in Minnesota

Lupus is an autoimmune disease that can impact almost any part of your body. Although lupus can be treated, there is no cure. Lupus causes your immune system to attack your body’s cells and tissues, causing inflammation and tissue damage.

Common symptoms of lupus include fever, general discomfort or uneasiness, joint pains, fatigue, muscle pain, and loss of cognitive abilities. Lupus symptoms can place great limitations on your daily living activities and social functioning. Because these symptoms are both widespread and common in other diseases, lupus can be easily overlooked or misdiagnosed.

If you have a diagnosis of lupus, and your symptoms keep you from working full-time, you may be eligible for Social Security Disability or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits.

Our attorneys at Hoglund Law Offices recommend that you see a particular kind of medical specialist to perform tests and document your lupus symptoms. Autoimmune diseases can be difficult to diagnose and treat, so the medical record evidence is very important when proving your impairments to Social Security judges at hearings.

Call a Hoglund lawyer today for a free consultation if you are thinking about filing for Social Security disability due to lupus. Although disability claims can be complex and difficult to understand, we will gladly assess your claim and discuss your options. Hoglund Law Offices: Help is around the corner.

* Home visits are typically available within a fifty mile radius of the major metro areas. The Bottom Line is that you will not spend a 'dime' out of pocket for our law firm to represent you. The only way our law firm gets paid any money is if you get back back benefits. Out of the back benefits, the Social Security Administration withholds 25% of that and sends it directly to our office to pay your Attorney's Fees. You keep the remaining 75%. 99% of our clients that win their claim receive a back benefits check from Social Security. The average back benefits check paid to our clients is about $6,000 - $9,000. Now, if you receive back benefits that amount could be more or less depending on an individual's case. Remember this is only an example, but it is likely that you will receive some money for back benefits if we won your case.
