Is Barretts esophagus considered a disability by social security?

The Social Security Administration (SSA) considers Barrett's esophagus a disability if it meets certain medical criteria. To qualify for disability benefits based on Barrett's esophagus, you must have:

* Documentation from a doctor that you have Barrett's esophagus. This can include a report of an upper endoscopy or a biopsy that shows the presence of Barrett's esophagus.

* Symptoms of Barrett's esophagus that interfere with your ability to work. These symptoms can include heartburn, difficulty swallowing, chest pain, or nausea.

* Evidence that your symptoms are severe enough to prevent you from doing your job duties. This can include statements from your doctor, your employer, or your co-workers.

The SSA will also consider your age, education, work experience, and other factors to determine if you are disabled. If you meet the medical criteria and the other factors support your claim, you may be eligible for disability benefits.
