Of course, but: Whether or not you will succeed at obtaining them may be a separate issue. Apply and work with the doctor to document as accurately as possible the importance of benefits for her treatment and future. Best wishes.

JIA/financial help: Jia is considered a chronic condition with the potential for future disability if it is a severe case. It can take years for joint damage to occur. You would not have to wait to see if joint damage occurs to make an application. A social worker or healtrh care advocate could help you with the application.
