Social Security Disability Lawyer Eczema and Polyarthralgias

Social Security Disability Lawyer John E. Horn of Horn & Kelley, PC, Attorneys at Law, just won disability benefits for a client with eczema and polyarthralgias that equaled Social Security listing 8.05 Dermatitis. At the disability hearing, the Medical Expert testified that the combination of claimant’s eczema and polyarthralgia equaled listing 8.05, Dermatitis. The medical record documented that claimant received regular and consistent treatment for his eczema, which caused flaring, itching and burning on his face, neck, chest, back, abdomen, buttocks, and all four extremities. The consultative physical examination documented diffuse scaling eczematous rash over most of his body with lichenification and evidence of excoriations. His rash covered 90 to 95 percent of his body. One of the side effects of the steroid injections he received in addition to topical treatments is muscle weakness.
