Yes, psoriasis patients can receive disability benefits if their condition prevents them from working. Here are some key points:

- Types of Benefits: There are two federal disability programs in the U.S.: Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
- Eligibility: To qualify, you must have a disability that prevents you from doing your current job or any other form of gainful employment.
- Application Process: Applying for disability benefits can be daunting, and appealing a rejected claim can be even more challenging. It's important to familiarize yourself with the process and ensure your health providers keep good documentation of your treatment and how it affects you.

For more detailed information, you can refer to resources like the Social Security Administration's guidelines on disability benefits.

Due to the severity of my arthritis overall, I've applied for disability three times and have been denied even with medical records from my doctors. I even enlisted in the help of an attorney, still denied.
