A member asked:

My toddler have acid reflux, difficulty breathing and her adenoids & tonsils were removed is she eligible for disability?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You're kidding ??.: Disability issues are determined on a state by state basis. Such medical issues are common in early childhood & resolve as a kid grows older.Why a kid would be considered disabled because of routine childhood illness is a bit much to consider.
