Obtaining New York Social Security disability can be tricky for victims of skin disorders. Regardless of whether your skin disorder is due to disease, from a work-related accident, or hereditary, the way it is evaluated by the Social Security Administration follows a certain pattern. When you see your doctor, he or she will evaluate you for the specifics of your skin disorder, while collecting general information as well. The Social Security Administration will specifically be looking for information regarding:
- Onset and history
- Duration
- Frequency of flare-ups
- Appearance
- Ability to function
- Prognosis
Once this information has been gathered, your Social Security disability claim will be assessed for severity. This will take into account how often your skin disorder and symptoms interfere with your ability to function in daily life. How often you have flare-ups and how you react to treatment also will be taken into account.
