# Can I get SSDI for lupus?

The SSA looks for documented multi-system involvement, ANA and other serologies, and functional evidence of fatigue, malaise, fever, or weight loss.

**Direct answer:** Yes — systemic lupus erythematosus can qualify for SSDI when it meets SSA Listing 14.02, which requires involvement of two or more organs or body systems with at least moderate severity plus constitutional symptoms.

## What listing applies?
Listing 14.02 (systemic lupus erythematosus) under the immune-system listings.

## What evidence matters?
Rheumatology records, serologies (ANA, dsDNA), organ-involvement documentation, and function reports covering flares and fatigue.

## What if I don't meet 14.02?
The SSA still evaluates residual functional capacity — lupus flares, cognitive effects, and treatment side effects can rule out sustained work.
