Will Cold Urticarial Qualify For Physical Disability?

I m 24 and I ve been living with cold urticaria for the last 17 years. It wasn t really a problem when I was younger but now that I have to work for a living it s becoming an issue. I m on antihistamines and have an epipen, in the past I ve also had a handicap placard. Is there anyway I d qualify for disabilty?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
To give a definite answer to this question becomes a little difficult unless I know your nationality. Having said that, as a doctor I believe that cold urticaria is a physical disability. I would suggest you to approach the medical authorities of your state/region and find out whether it is enlisted as a physical disability there or not. If not, you could also appeal to get it enlisted with the aid of a physician's certificate.
