Probably, but it's next to impossible to receive. I know of applicants with a combination of MS, Heart disease, gastro-intestinal disease, osteoarthritis, to name a few, who have been battling to receive disability for -several years -after several years prior to that ...filling out pre-applications for applications, without success. AISH forces applicants to go to government contracted out Employment Specialists ie (Mandel & Associates) who invent, therapies or, cures, or AISH forces potential applicants, to spend years on a wait list for the Chronic Pain Clinic- who will tell you-when you finally get in, as a useless treatment, to join groups-the, 'walk and talk about pain, sit and talk about pain, stretch and talk about pain etc. type groups, a tactic which AISH then uses to justify delaying or rejecting, potential applicants, while ignoring your own doctors medical expertise. The Ministers office is clueless about the extent of the bullying. You may qualify with COPD but; to receive disability--it's highly unlikely.

Defining Social Security Disability Benefits: The SSA has a very rigid definition of who is disabled. To receive SSI or SSDI benefits a person must provide evidence that they are permanently disabled and this condition will last at least one year, or result in their death. No benefits are awarded for a partial or short-term disability. Documenting a COPD Disability: The most important thing for a COPD patient to do is to see a doctor on a regular basis. While at the doctor's office, this is your opportunity to help build your COPD disability case. Remember to win benefits you'll need to provide documentation of your disability. The notes and records your doctor maintains on file are critical evidence to help support your claim I've summarized your answer on this page because it allows better formatting: http://vitzy.net/forum/COPD-t1386.html I hope this answers your question but if not, feel free to let me know (preferably by replying on the forum as I've enabled automatic e-mail notices of replies) and I will try to provide additional information.

Yes COPD is eligable for disaability.check out www.emphyasema.net It all depends on the circumstances of the on the job injury and who is paying the disability. If you are receiving money from the insurance company, you will not get any extra unless it's a direct result of your original injury. If you are receiving disability payments form the government, then take the new information to the social security office and they can give you a more specific answer as to how much more if any you can receive.

Emphysema is one type of COPD. There are others.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a serious lung disease that makes it harder and harder for you to breathe. COPD includes chronic bronchitis, emphysema, or both. The leading cause is cigarette smoke. It is estimated that 24 million people in the U.S. have evidence of impaired lung function, and nearly 13 million have been diagnosed with COPD. This makes COPD an under-diagnosed and under-treated disease. COPD is the 4th leading cause of death, and the 2nd leading cause of disability.
Coffee can not help people with COPD. The only thing to help with COPD is medicines giving by a doctor.
http://copd.about.com/od/copd/a/copddiet.htm is a very helpful page that discusses COPD and provides detailed infromation on how those with COPD can keep healthy.
