Living with liver disease, including Hepatitis C, takes real toll on your life. But there is hope that you can find calm: Social Security Disability benefits.
Disability benefits for liver disease offer financial relief and access to crucial health care when your health keeps you from working.
Your diagnosis alone doesn’t guarantee approval. You have to show how your symptoms sharply limit your ability to work for at least 12 months. Lachman & Gorton Law Office helps you make this case.
Our disability lawyers have helped thousands of Upstate New Yorkers, from Binghamton to Rochester and Elmira, get the support they deserve.
You deserve to feel secure again when Hepatitis C or liver disease has scrambled your life. We help make that happen.
Social Security recognizes liver disease as a potentially disabling condition.
It includes symptoms such as:
To qualify for disability benefits with liver disease, you must show ongoing impairment despite treatment.
A particular liver disease, Hepatitis C, is officially listed under digestive disorders in Social Security’s listing of impairments that can qualify you for disability benefits.

But in your particular case, can you get Social Security Disability for Hepatitis C or liver disease? Every case is different. You can find out more about your options by talking to the New York disability attorneys at Lachman & Gorton in a consultation, no charge.

Social Security Disability denies most people who apply. But you can do several things to build a stronger disability case when you live in New York state. Start by gathering:
The more detailed and consistent your documentation, the stronger your case.
If liver disease or Hepatitis C prevents you from working, the critical next step is applying for disability benefits.
If you already applied and have been denied, as commonly happens, then your next step is to add evidence and arguments in a disability benefits appeal.
This requires careful evidence gathering, powerful documentation, and a convincing presentation of your medical limitations.
At Lachman & Gorton, we can:
You don’t pay a Social Security Disability lawyer up front. You only pay an attorney when we win benefits for you.
If Hepatitis C or other liver diseases have altered the course or your life, making it impossible to make a living, the Lachman & Gorton disability lawyers work hard to help you restore your sense of peace and hope.
