paulstrgn Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 @JustGettingStarted If you don't mind me asking, your eczema does it cover most of your body? I ask because I also have eczema but only covers part of my body, but I do use a immunosuppressants which was prescribed by my dermatologist on a regular basis. I was originally rated at 10% and now after reading about your CUE I wonder if I need to submit a claim for an increase. I was only prescribed the a year ago so my case is different than yours.

Thanks Hi Paulstrgn, No, my condition covers less than 5% of my body. The key is that the immunosuppressant has to be oral or injected, not a topical cream that you rub on your skin. It doesn't matter if it is controlling your condition, as long as you are on the oral/intravenous medication, you qualify for the 60% rating.

Thanks My skin disease covers very little of my body, but it is extremely painful if not kept under control. I take oral medication to suppress it. If you have eczema and you are taking immunosuppressants, then you should be rated at 60%. File for an increase. Sorry it has taken so long for me to respond. The hurricane damage to my house was much more extensive than we realized at first. It has taken us 8 months of hard work to get back to nearly normal.
