Fighting For The Disability Benefits You Need And Deserve

HIV/AIDS

Fortunately, medications have allowed people infected with HIV/AIDS to live longer and stay healthier. Although the diagnosis of HIV or AIDS used to qualify an individual for disability benefits, that is no longer the case. Now the question Social Security asks is whether the symptoms of the condition prevent the person from working on a full-time basis.

The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) damages the immune system. A wide variety of “opportunistic” infections take advantage of a weakened immune system and affect the victim in ways that can be mild to severe. The medications that keep people healthy have side effects and these can also make a person ill and limit their ability to work.
