The diagnosis of Lupus must be confirmed and it must be clearly defined as to how much and to what extent is disables you.
Your best (and only) authority on this matter should be your local office of the Social Security Administration.

∙ 12y agoLupus is recognized as a category in the disability statues of the Social Security Administration. There are many ways that lupus can cause disability. 90-95% of lupus patients have joint pain and swelling that, at times, can make it difficult to even take care of themselves. Lupus can affect the heart, causing disabilities like any other Heart disease. Lupus can attack the liver and can even be fatal in doing so. 40% of lupus patients have kidney disease. Some of them end up on dialysis waiting for a transplant. When lupus affects the central nervouse system patients may have seizures. Lupus patients with antiphospholipi antibody syndrom may experince TIA strokes or major disabling strokes. Lupus can affect any organ or system. That is how it causes disability.

Is a person with lupus socioemotional?
If you are asking if people develop lupus or think they have lupus because they have emotional or social issues, the answer is no. Lupus is a very real disease. If you are asking if having lupus causes psychosocial issues, the answer is yes. Any person who is diagnosed with a disease that has no cure is going to struggle with the emotional and social implications of the diagnosis. When you have lupus, it feels like a bad case of the flu, except there is no end in sight. Lupus frequently causes pain, a constant reminder that you have a disease. All of the medications carry nasty risks, and each time a person takes their medication they can't help but be reminded of that. About 35% of people with lupus are on disability. It is depressing not to be able to work, not to be a contributing member of society, and to depend on others.
