Arthritis and Disability

Arthritis disability affects millions of people in the United States. Around one million adults in Minnesota have been diagnosed with arthritis. There are several types of arthritis. Social security disability claimants usually have one of two common types of arthritis and disability: rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis.

Rheumatoid arthritis predominately affects women causing pain, swelling, stiffness and function loss in many different joints. It is considered the most disabling form of arthritis.

Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis affecting more than 21 million people in the United States. Osteoarthritis is primarily a result of aging (”wear-and-tear”). It is also referred to as degenerative joint disease.

If you suffer from arthritis disability and are unable to work you can qualify for disability benefits. Arthritis can affect the entire body causing various symptoms including joint pain, stiffness, swelling and damage. The pain and limitations caused by arthritis and disability can make work impossible.

When you are applying for Social security (SSA) benefits based on arthritis disability SSA will look for different evidence depending on which type of arthritis you have. As with other disorders, documentation and specific evidence of how your arthritis limits your activities over an extended period of time is the key to winning arthritis and disability benefits in Minnesota.
