Skin disorders are listed on the Social Security Administration (SSA) List of Impairments that may make you eligible for Social Security benefits.

The Social Security Administration will evaluate each of these skin conditions to determine how it impacts you ability to work. They will consider the following:
1. Severity or extent of your skin legions.
The severity can be determined by the number of lesions on your body and location. If you have lesions on your hands, joints or feet that limit your motor skills, ability walk or limit movement, it may be considered to be severe.
2. Treatment.
Many conditions do respond to treatment and that will be a major factor in determining your disability. However, side effects of your treatment can reduce your ability to work and that needs to be developed in any Social Security claim for skin conditions.
