Living with severe Crohn’s disease can have a real impact on your ability to work — both physically and emotionally. Applying for disability can be a complicated and stressful process, and it’s something many members consider or go through.
➡️ Have you ever tried to apply for disability due to Crohn’s? What was your experience like?

two months ago I went into the Social Security office and filled out a ton of paperwork to apply for disability. Within a month of doing that I received a letter in the mail explaining that Crohn’s disease should not prevent me from being able to hold a job down. Every job I’ve had I’ve lost due to too many absences, surgeries and emergency room visits. Has anyone successfully gotten on disability and if so did you use a lawyer?
