Social Security Disability for Ulcerative Colitis in Ohio

Helping Me, That's HNB

Want to Know if Ulcerative Colitis Is Eligible for Financial Assistance?

The pain in your belly just won’t go away. It disrupts your day and keeps you up at night. You find yourself constantly locating the closest bathroom wherever you go.

The symptoms of ulcerative colitis can range from mild discomfort to crippling pain. If your condition is severe enough that you can’t work, you could use a financial lifeline to help with the costs of everyday life and let you rest.

Social Security Disability benefits exist for people who find themselves in just this kind of tough spot. You can win monthly checks to help you cover your bills while also gaining access to Medicare health insurance.

Social Security, however, doesn’t make it easy. Most first-time applicants are denied.

On top of that, ulcerative colitis presents unique challenges to your case. While it does get worse over time, it’s not always debilitating enough to qualify for disability benefits. New treatments and medicines have proven effective in managing it.

That means you have to show Social Security that your ulcerative colitis has derailed your working life and that you need disability benefits to get yourself back on track.

The Ohio Social Security Disability lawyer at Horenstein, Nicholson & Blumenthal (HNB) are committed to you, your case, your health and your life. We can help, and having a skilled disability lawyer in your corner can make a big difference when dealing with Social Security.

We’ve helped thousands like you in Dayton, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus and across Ohio who know what it means when they say, “Helping Me, that’s HNB.

    Qualifying for Ulcerative Colitis Disability Benefits: Symptoms & Severity

    Ulcerative colitis is mysterious. Doctors have not pinpointed an exact cause. It may be brought on by a combination of diet and stress, or a malfunction of your immune system while fighting off some other illness.

    What’s not unclear are the symptoms. Ulcerative colitis is inflammation of your large intestine that usually worsens over time, including:

    • Cramps and abdominal pain
    • Diarrhea
    • Fatigue
    • Fever
    • Inability to go despite a feeling of urgency
    • Weight loss

    Your symptoms may come and go, and they can range from mild to debilitating. If it has progressed far enough, you may find it impossible to continue in your job.

    Documenting your symptoms with medical evidence will be the key to your Social Security Disability application.

    At HNB, we know how taxing ulcerative colitis can be. And we can walk you through the challenge of convincing Social Security you deserve disability benefits.

    How to Prove Your Ulcerative Colitis is Eligible for Social Security Disability

    Social Security has set standards for every case that you must meet to qualify for disability benefits. These include showing:

    1. Your poor health is the reason you can’t work.
    2. You not only can’t do your job, but you can’t do another one, either.
    3. You will be out of work for at least a year, if not longer.

    To make your case, you must present medical records that detail your history with the disease, your response to treatments and medications, and the impact of ulcerative colitis on your ability to perform work-related tasks.

    In short, that’s a lot of paperwork to gather, a lot of conversations to have with your caregivers, and a lot of strain on your time and stamina—all while dealing with your health.

    Let the HNB disability attorneys give you the support you need to get through this. Our lawyers can organize your evidence and lay out your case to Social Security, giving you the best chance to win the benefits you deserve.

    If you live in Ohio, let’s work together to secure financial relief and welcome peace of mind.
