ibs and disability allowances
We all know that IBS can be disabling - and sometimes the pain, discomfort and practicalities of IBS mean that sufferers can find it impossible to work. This means relying on social security or disability payments from the government, and this section of the website is designed to help IBS sufferers share their experiences of applying for these payments.
I have divided the experiences into two sections, one for the USA and one for the UK. The systems for both countries appear to be relatively similar in terms of assessing people - if you do not have an obvious or severely limiting disability such as paraplegia you will need to go through an assessment process, where your disability and its affect on your everyday life is evaluated.
