Stomach and Intestine Disorder Disability: Social Security Disability Claims for Digestive Conditions

When Digestive Disorders Make Work Impossible

If you’re living with a stomach or intestinal condition that makes working full time impossible, you may be eligible for Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits. Many gastrointestinal (GI) disorders are included on the Social Security Administration’s (SSA) list of impairments. But receiving benefits requires more than just a diagnosis—you must prove how your condition limits your ability to function.

At the Law Office of Charles E. Binder and Harry J. Binder, we help individuals with a wide range of digestive issues apply for and win SSD benefits. We guide you through the process, gather the right evidence, and deal with the government so you don’t have to.

Common Digestive Conditions That May Qualify

We represent clients facing conditions such as:

• Crohn’s Disease

• Diverticulitis

• Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

• Pancreatitis

• Peptic Ulcer Disease

• Upper GI Hemorrhaging

• Other chronic stomach or intestinal conditions

These disorders can cause persistent pain, nausea, diarrhea, fatigue, and nutritional deficiencies. Frequent bathroom needs, fatigue, and complications from treatments may interfere with even sedentary work. The unpredictability of symptoms can also lead to excessive absences—something the SSA takes seriously when evaluating whether you can maintain gainful employment.

How the SSA Evaluates Digestive Disorders

The SSA will look at:

• Diagnostic test results (e.g., colonoscopies, endoscopies, scans)

• Treatment records, including medications and surgeries

• Your doctor’s opinion on your ability to work

• Frequency and severity of flare-ups

• Hospitalizations and ER visits

At the Law Office of Charles E. Binder and Harry J. Binder, we help ensure your medical records are complete and compelling. We also review your work history to see how your prior roles are classified and how your current limitations compare.
