Yes, some people have been approved for disability benefits for hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). However, it is noted that people are rarely approved the first time they apply. Between 2008 and 2017, only 22 percent were approved on their first attempt. Many myHSteam members have shared their experiences, with some being approved after appealing the decision. For example, one member mentioned being approved for SSDI after about six months of paperwork and follow-ups.
