Welcome to Season 5, Episode 24 of Winning Isn't Easy. In this episode, we'll dive into the complicated topic of "Hidradenitis Suppurativa."

Think hidradenitis suppurativa is just a skin condition? Think again. In today’s episode, disability law expert Nancy L. Cavey takes us deep into the realities of living - and working - with HS, a painful, chronic condition that affects far more than the skin. For many, HS causes relentless flare-ups, infections, and debilitating pain that can make holding down a job nearly impossible. Yet when it comes to filing for disability insurance benefits, claimants often face skepticism, delays, and denials from insurers who don’t understand the full impact of this condition. Whether you’re battling HS yourself or helping someone who is, this episode breaks down what you need to know about how HS affects work capacity, why insurance companies frequently get it wrong, and what you can do to protect your ERISA disability claim. Nancy shares expert insight on medical documentation, treating provider support, and the legal strategies that can make or break your case. Don’t miss this essential conversation about getting the benefits you deserve - even when your condition isn’t always visible. Let’s get started.

In this episode, we'll cover the following topics:

One - What Is Hidradenitis Suppurativa and How Is It Disabling?

Two - Do You Qualify for ERISA Disability Benefits Because of Hidradenitis Suppurativa?

Three - Building a Strong Disability Claim for Hidradenitis Suppurativa
