At Disability Insurance Law Group, our Florida and nationwide attorneys know that Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a long-term lung disease that makes it hard to breathe. COPD can include chronic bronchitis and emphysema, according to the American Lung Association.
The Centers for Disease Control reported 16 million Americans have COPD, but millions more may be suffering from this condition, and just have not been diagnosed and are not being treated.
There is no cure for COPD, although it can be treated. Depending on the severity of the condition, it can be difficult to complete daily tasks, use any form of exertion without struggling to breathe, or work in certain environments — or at all.
Our Broward County disability insurance attorneys assist individuals with COPD throughout the country with their disability insurance claims, so they can thoroughly and strategically apply for the benefits they need to take back control of their lives.

COPD disrupts a person’s ability to move freely or work in their required capacity — no matter which industry or position they work in.
Common symptoms of COPD include, but are not limited to:
Later stages of COPD may include the worsening of current symptoms, flare-ups, exacerbations, or an event where symptoms are worse requiring sufferers to seek urgent or emergency care.
In addition, long-term COPD can lead to weight and muscle mass loss, anorexia, or an increased risk for depression or anxiety.

To diagnose COPD, which includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema, healthcare providers will review the person’s symptoms, complete health history, conduct a physical exam, and review test results.
Your physician will need to know how your COPD symptoms have changed your daily life, including changes in your activities or ability to work.
There are breathing tests or lung function evaluations healthcare providers may perform, and include:
This typically unfolds during multiple doctor visits where the healthcare professionals will determine your level of severity and create a treatment plan, which will be monitored for improvement during subsequent visits.
