Desafortunadamente, no es una pesadilla de la que uno se libere f\u00e1cilmente. La enfermedad que provoca suele parecerse ahora a una gripe muy fuerte, pero, para algunas personas, contin\u00faa mucho m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de esta etapa inicial a trav\u00e9s de lo que se conoce como \u201cCOVID prolongado\u201d.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>El COVID prolongado sigue siendo algo sobre lo que a\u00fan estamos aprendiendo. B\u00e1sicamente, las personas dan negativo en las pruebas, pero siguen sintiendo los efectos de la enfermedad. Puede que no representen un riesgo de contagiar a otras personas, pero sin duda no se sienten bien. Dada la novedad de esta enfermedad, tal vez te est\u00e9s preguntando si tu COVID prolongado se considera una discapacidad.<\/p>\n<p>La respuesta es que el COVID prolongado puede considerarse una discapacidad y cumplir con los requisitos para ser reconocido como tal de acuerdo con <a href=\"https:\/\/adata.org\/learn-about-ada\" target=\"_blank\">la Ley de Estadounidenses con Discapacidades<\/a>, las Secciones 504 y 1557. Sin embargo, no todos los casos de COVID prolongado se consideran una discapacidad.

Ah\u00ed es donde entran en juego las Secciones 504 y 1557 de la Ley de Estadounidenses con Discapacidades. Estas nos indican que una discapacidad es algo que limita sustancialmente una o m\u00e1s actividades importantes de la vida.<\/p>\n<p>Por lo tanto, si padeces COVID prolongado y esto te ha dejado con algunos s\u00edntomas, estos no se consideran una discapacidad por s\u00ed solos. Sin embargo, si esos s\u00edntomas te limitan o te impiden realizar actividades importantes de la vida diaria, como trabajar o valerte por ti mismo, entonces s\u00ed se considerar\u00edan una discapacidad.<\/p>\n<p>Esto significa que cada caso de COVID prolongado debe analizarse de manera individual para determinar si la enfermedad se considerar\u00eda o no una discapacidad. As\u00ed que veamos cu\u00e1les son las limitaciones asociadas al COVID prolongado para determinar cu\u00e1les podr\u00edan considerarse una discapacidad.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-impairments-may-make-long-covid-count-as-a-disability\"><\/span>\u00bfQu\u00e9 afecciones pueden hacer que el COVID prolongado se considere una discapacidad?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Entonces, un <a href=\"https:\/\/omalleytunstall.com\/es\/raleigh\/abogado-especializado-en-discapacidad-de-la-seguridad-social\/\">discapacidad<\/a> es una afecci\u00f3n que limita sustancialmente la capacidad de una persona para participar en las actividades principales de la vida. Esto plantea un par de preguntas adicionales. Primero, \u00bfqu\u00e9 discapacidades podr\u00edan surgir a causa del COVID prolongado? Segundo, \u00bfqu\u00e9 actividades principales de la vida podr\u00edan verse afectadas por ellas?<\/p>\n<p>Seg\u00fan la Oficina de Derechos Civiles del Departamento de Salud y Servicios Humanos, el COVID prolongado puede provocar las siguientes discapacidades:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Da\u00f1o al coraz\u00f3n<\/li>\n<li>Inflamaci\u00f3n del m\u00fasculo card\u00edaco<\/li>\n<li>Da\u00f1o neurol\u00f3gico<\/li>\n<li>Da\u00f1o pulmonar<\/li>\n<li>Da\u00f1o renal<\/li>\n<li>Da\u00f1o al sistema circulatorio<\/li>\n<li>Niebla mental<\/li>\n<li>Enfermedad emocional<\/li>\n<li>Una gran variedad de trastornos de salud mental<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Estos pueden afectar negativamente a una persona de muchas maneras diferentes. Por ejemplo, el da\u00f1o neurol\u00f3gico podr\u00eda hacer que, literalmente, le resultara imposible seguir desempe\u00f1ando su trabajo, o el da\u00f1o card\u00edaco podr\u00eda reducir su capacidad para realizar trabajos extenuantes.<\/p>\n<p>Entre las diversas actividades importantes de la vida que el COVID prolongado podr\u00eda limitar sustancialmente se incluyen (entre otras):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cuidarse a uno mismo<\/li>\n<li>Realizar tareas manuales<\/li>\n<li>Tu capacidad para trabajar<\/li>\n<li>Tu vista<\/li>\n<li>Tu audiencia<\/li>\n<li>Tu capacidad para comer<\/li>\n<li>Tu capacidad para dormir<\/li>\n<li>Caminar, estar de pie, sentarse o las tres cosas<\/li>\n<li>Estirarse, levantar objetos, agacharse o las tres cosas<\/li>\n<li>Tu capacidad para hablar y comprender una conversaci\u00f3n<\/li>\n<li>Tu capacidad para respirar y obtener suficiente ox\u00edgeno para hablar o realizar tareas manuales<\/li>\n<li>Tu capacidad para aprender cosas nuevas<\/li>\n<li>La lectura, o tu concentraci\u00f3n en general<\/li>\n<li>Escribir, pensar o comunicarse<\/li>\n<li>Tu capacidad para interactuar con otras personas<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-rights-do-people-with-long-covid-as-a-disability-have\"><\/span>\u00bfQu\u00e9 derechos tienen las personas que padecen \u00abCOVID prolongado\u00bb como discapacidad?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Cuando el COVID prolongado se considera una discapacidad, se le otorgan a esa persona las mismas protecciones contra la discriminaci\u00f3n que se le otorgar\u00edan a cualquier otra persona con discapacidad.

Esto es importante para quienes temen perder su empleo debido a su discapacidad. Los empleadores est\u00e1n obligados a proporcionar adaptaciones razonables a los empleados o a los solicitantes calificados.<\/p>\n<p>Adem\u00e1s, protege a las personas con discapacidad contra la discriminaci\u00f3n por motivo de su discapacidad en los servicios del gobierno estatal y local, as\u00ed como en los lugares p\u00fablicos y en los establecimientos comerciales. As\u00ed que, aunque vivir con una discapacidad puede ser dif\u00edcil, se espera que a quienes re\u00fanan los requisitos para ser considerados personas con discapacidad debido a su COVID prolongado se les brinden adaptaciones razonables para que no tengan que perderse nada de la vida simplemente por su condici\u00f3n.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-should-i-apply-for-disability-benefits\"><\/span>\u00bfC\u00f3mo debo solicitar los beneficios por discapacidad?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Aunque puedes solicitar los beneficios por discapacidad por tu cuenta, lo mejor es contar con la ayuda de un <a href=\"https:\/\/omalleytunstall.com\/es\/\">abogado con experiencia en temas de discapacidad<\/a> para hacerlo.
