Welcome to Season 5, Episode 30 of Winning Isn't Easy. In this episode, we'll dive into the complicated topic of "Getting Long-Term Disability Benefits for Stevens-Johnson Syndrome."

Most people expect Long-Term Disability insurance to step in when illness or injury prevents them from working. But for those living with the aftermath of Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS), the reality is often far more difficult. Triggered by common medications, SJS is a devastating condition that can cause blistering rashes, organ damage, and lasting complications like vision loss, chronic pain, and breathing problems. Recovery may take months, but the effects can last a lifetime, making work not just difficult, but impossible. That’s when disability benefits should help. Instead, insurers often downplay the severity of SJS, deny claims by insisting patients have “recovered,” or ignore complications that make steady employment unsafe. In this episode of Winning Isn’t Easy, disability law expert Nancy L. Cavey explains what it takes to file - and win - a Long-Term Disability claim with SJS. You’ll learn what evidence matters most, how to document your limitations, which complications are commonly overlooked, and when to bring in legal help. If you or someone you love is battling the effects of SJS and struggling with a disability claim, this episode will give you the tools and strategies to fight back. Winning isn’t easy, but with the right approach, it’s possible.

In this episode, we'll cover the following topics:

One - Understanding Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS) and Its Impact

Two - How Disability Carriers View SJS Claims

Three - Appealing Denials and Maximizing Your Claim

Whether you're a claimant, or simply seeking valuable insights into the disability claims landscape, this episode provides essential guidance to help you succeed in your journey. Don't miss it.
