COVID RELATED DISABILITY

The Social Security Administration is changing the way it looks at COVID-19 illness.

If you have lingering, long term effects of COVID infection, you are what is known as a COVID "long hauler." Disability benefits may now be available, even if you no longer test positive for COVID-19.

In some individuals, COVID produces severe symptoms. Yet, in others symptoms may be very mild or even non-existent. This doesn't mean that you won't have long-term "long haul" effects of the infection that can interfere with your ability to perform normal activities for months or even years to come.

There are many symptoms of long haul COVID-19, which may include:

• Persistent tiredness and fatigue

• Body aches

• Joint and muscle pain

• Shortness of Breath

• Long term loss of taste or smell

• Headaches

• Possible involvement of major organs: heart, brain, intestines, liver....etc.

If you've had linger symptoms of COVID-19 infection lasting 30 days or longer, call the Forsythe Firm for a FREE Social Security disability consultation. We can help you file an application, gather medical evidence and walk through the disability process with you, including appeals.
