Lymphedema

Question:

Is lymphedema a disability?

 

Jim's Reply:

Lymphedema is more of a symptom of a disease process going on in your body than it is a disease or condition unto itself. In other words, lymphedema may be secondary to another rated condition like cancer. You can file for it as a rated condition but without knowing more about the cause of the lymphedema I can't advise you about how successful the claim may be. Good luck.
