And over a period of time, even if symptoms aren’t present in the beginning, symptoms so tend to surface. Some eventually becoming so severs as to inhibit many daily functions. Some Hepatitis C Physical Symptoms The symptoms could include abdominal pain, lower back pain, jaundice, depression, and chronic fatigue syndrome. Often, these symptoms will become so severe that they will inhibit the person’s abilities to perform on the job. Here is a short list of the things you will need to do and get together if your affliction is starting to become more of a daily issue for you. Documentation Is Key To Claim First, start before you have to. You will need documentation that will show your gradual decline, and will help your doctors demonstrate your disability more easily. Next, the Hepatitis C disability must be severe enough to significantly limit one’s ability to perform basic work activities needed to do most jobs. In other words, your impairment must affect your seeing, hearing, speaking, understanding/carrying out and remembering simple instructions, or responding appropriately to supervision, co-workers and usual work situations. Is There Another Occupation, They Can Help You The above listed inhibitions aren’t the whole list, and you don’t have to be affected in every one of the manners, but the records presented to the Social Security Administration must clearly show one or more of them. Now the Social Security department will want to know, “is there another type of work you can do?” You should be as honest with yourself and the administration as you can on this. But keep in mind, earning more than $1,000 a month as an employee is enough to be disqualified from receiving Social Security disability benefits. Social Security has put a lot of information about the disability process on their website at www.ssa.gov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
