Have Hereditary Angioedema. Itching Inspite Of Claritin. Qualify For Disability?
Hi, I have had hereditary angioedema for 10 years now. It lasts for 10 months at a time and the only thing I have been told is that my life expectancy is 55 years old. I am 54. That I am not allergic to anything - yet react like I am to everything. I carry an Epi pen. If I have an episode I take Benedryl which puts me to sleep. As a teacher this is not good. I itch all the time regardless of Claritin. Can I qualify for disability?

Thank for choosing HCM
NO you do not fall in this category of disability, the norms of these goes on changing from country to country to confirm this you will have to consult a lawyer who handles such cases, I gave my opinion on Medical ground, and it has nothing take with provision of your state or country, have nice day.
