Title: How to Get Disability Benefits for Episodic Respiratory Disease
What is Episodic Respiratory Disease?

An attack of asthma, pneumonia, bronchitis, or hemoptysis (more than bloody sputum), or respiratory failure are considered episodic if it lasts one or more days and requires intensive treatment like antibiotic administration, intravenous bronchodilator, or prolonged inhalational bronchodilator therapy in an emergency room, hospital, or equivalent setting.
