Every August, the National Psoriasis Foundation (NPF) brings together all those affected by the condition, psoriasis, to support them.

The main aim of the NPF is to ultimately find a cure. Psoriasis affects over 8 million people in the United States.

People who have psoriasis develop a higher risk of developing other serious health conditions like cardiovascular disease, depression and type-2 diabetes.

One of the main symptoms is a skin rash which could also occur in the joints and nails. This can lead to pain in those areas.

The Social Security Administration (SSA) oversees two different disability programs that pay monthly benefits to those who are unable to work.

To qualify for disability benefits, you must meet the criteria established by the SSA to determine if an individual qualifies for disability benefits. You can explore the list of medical conditions for disability approval here.

During states of emergency that are being declared across the country, many offices are closing. These offices include Social Security Administration (SSA) offices. These closures are for the safety of the general public as well as the employees of the SSA. If you have a disability, you will want to get your disability claim underway. However, you should know that you cannot receive disability benefits because you have been diagnosed with the coronavirus.

Colorectal cancer encompasses any cancer that affects the colon and rectum. It’s also known as bowel cancer, colon cancer or rectal cancer. When diagnosed early, before it spreads to other areas, the survival rate is over 90%. However, the first step is early detection.

It might be possible to get by without your usual paycheck for a while after a serious illness or injury puts you out of work. When disability becomes long-term or permanent though, you’ll need additional, regular income that you can count on to pay the bills and cover everyday living expenses.

Disability benefits from the Social Security Administration (SSA) may be the answer, and since your application is so important, you may decide to seek legal assistance with your claim by hiring a disability advocate or attorney.

If you become unable to work because of an accident or because of medical conditions, there is help available. You probably know that there are different programs that offer benefits, but you may not be aware of the differences or how they work. In short, there are long term disability benefits as well as Social Security disability benefits. You may be able to collect long term disability and Social Security disability at the same time.
