Welcome to Season 2, Episode 3 of Winning Isn't Easy: Navigating Your Social Security Disability Claim. In this episode, we'll dive into the complicated topic of Interstitial Cystitis and Your Social Security Disability Claim.
Many people applying for or receiving Social Security Disability benefits are frustrated by how hard it can be to prove chronic conditions that don’t always look disabling on paper. While severe physical impairments are often easier for the SSA to recognize, conditions like Interstitial Cystitis (IC) are frequently scrutinized more closely. Symptoms such as chronic bladder pain, frequent and urgent urination, fatigue, sleep disruption, and difficulty concentrating can significantly interfere with daily life and the ability to work - but they must be documented carefully to meet Social Security’s rules. In this episode of Winning Isn’t Easy, we take a detailed look at how the Social Security Administration evaluates Interstitial Cystitis under SSDI and SSI. We explain why IC claims are often challenged and what the SSA looks for when determining whether the condition is medically determinable and functionally limiting. We break down the types of medical evidence that matter most, how pain and fatigue are assessed, and why documenting urinary frequency, urgency, and related limitations is critical. We also discuss the role of residual functional capacity forms, treatment records, and physician support in strengthening an IC-based claim. By the end of the episode, you’ll have a clearer understanding of how to present Interstitial Cystitis to the SSA, what evidence carries the most weight, and how to better position your claim to improve your chances of securing the disability benefits you deserve.
In this episode, we'll cover the following topics:
One - What Should I Be Telling My Doctor About My Interstitial Cystitis Symptoms That Will Help Me Win My Social Security Disability Claim?
Two - More About Step One - How Does the Social Security Administration Determine if My Interstitial Cystitis Is a Medically Determinable Impairment?
Three - Tips for Strengthening Your Interstitial Cystitis Social Security Disability 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.
