Painful bladder syndrome making it impossible to work?
Interstitial Cystitis Disability benefits can provide financial relief.
Interstitial Cystitis (IC), also called painful bladder syndrome, is a complex, chronic disorder caused by inflammation of the bladder wall. People with IC suffer from pelvic pain and discomfort and have a frequent need to urinate ― sometimes up to 60 times a day.
For some, the searing pain, sleepless nights and frequent urination make it difficult to go out in public or hold down any kind of job. That’s when you know it is time to seek Social Security Disability benefits, which provides monthly payments, early Medicare and, quite possibly, an lump sum of accrued back pay.
Unfortunately, obtaining Interstitial Cystitis Disability benefits is not easy. The Social Security Administration’s rules are complex and the system is backlogged, which can make the process long, difficult and frustrating.
Severe interstitial cystitis? Talk to our Social Security Disability team. Call 855-702-9061.
In order to qualify, your must prove that your IC is so severe that it is expected to keep you out of work for at least a year. The decision-makers will want a plethora of information about your condition, work history, and daily activities. If they aren’t satisfied, your claim will be denied ― something that occurs more often than not.
Your best hope for a stress-free, successful outcome is to have an experienced Disability team carry the load for you. The Disability team at McDonald Law Firm will gather the necessary medical information and prepare a powerful, persuasive claim on your behalf. If for some reason it gets denied, we will handle the appeal and represent you throughout the whole process.
Simply put, we work tirelessly so you don’t have to.
Obtaining Interstitial Cystitis Disability can be complicated. Detailed medical records are essential.
Getting approved for Social Security Disability benefits for Interstitial Cystitis (IC) is difficult, but not impossible. It will take some effort and ingenuity.
The Social Security Administration doesn’t include Interstitial Cystitis on its list of impairments that qualify for Disability benefits. This doesn’t mean you can’t get benefits, it just means you have to approach it from a different direction.
If you can prove that your condition is associated with other disorders or is as severe as another medical condition on the SSA’s list, you could get approved. You could also get awarded benefits if you can show that your IC is so debilitating that you can’t work any job at all ― even one that is sedentary.
You will need to support your claim with detailed medical records that prove you have IC and that you have some or all of the following symptoms:
- Frequent urge to urinate.
- Pain in the bladder and pelvic region.
- Tenderness in the pelvic area.
- Bleeding on the bladder wall after a cystoscopy.
- Hunner’s ulcers on the bladder wall after a cystoscopy.

Denied Interstitial Cystitis Disability? Don’t get discouraged.
Most people who apply for Disability benefits will have their claim denied at least once. Only about 33 percent will have their claims approved at the initial application level. While that may not sound very comforting, you should be encouraged to learn that approval rates go up further into the Disability process.
The next step is to appeal your denied Disability claim ― but don’t procrastinate. You only have 60 days to file an appeal after receiving your denial notice. If you haven’t already done so, now would also be the time to employ the services of a Disability attorney.
The appeals process is technical and likely will involve a Disability hearing before an Administrative Law Judge. An experienced lawyer will bolster your case, adequately prepare you for the hearing, and fight to get the benefits you deserve and so desperately need.
Don’t worry, you can afford us.
Many disabled workers forgo hiring an experienced Social Security Disability lawyer because they wrongly believe they can’t afford professional legal help. The Disability team at McDonald Law Firm works on contingency, which means we don’t get paid unless we are successful. Even then, our fees are limited by the federal government. If we don’t win, we don’t get paid a penny.
