Can someone get on approved disability if they have staph infections?

Staphylococcal infections or staph infections by themselves might not be considered a disability. However, if the infections are chronic or widespread, they may contribute to a person's overall health and well-being. In some cases, a person with severe staph infections may qualify for Social Security Disability benefits if the infection is severe and disabling.

To qualify for disability benefits, a person must meet the Social Security Administration (SSA) requirements for disability. This includes providing medical evidence that shows that the person is unable to perform any substantial work for at least 12 months.

The SSA will consider the severity of the staph infections and how they affect a person's ability to work. They may also consider other medical conditions that the person has and the combined effect of these conditions on the person's ability to work.

In order to increase the chances of approval for disability benefits, it is important to provide thorough medical documentation of the staph infections and their effects on the person's ability to work. This may include medical records, doctor's notes, and statements from healthcare providers.

Additionally, it is important to seek legal assistance from an attorney or advocate who is experienced in Social Security Disability claims. They can help navigate the complex application process and ensure that all necessary information is provided to the SSA.
