Chronic Fatigue

Thinking about filing a Chronic Fatigue Syndrome claim for Social Security Disability Benefits?

If you are thinking about filing a claim for Social Security Disability benefits related to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), or Immune Dysfunction Syndrome, or if your claim for benefits has been denied, there are some very important things you should know.

There are some distinct obstacles to overcome in establishing a claim for Social Security Disability related to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) because fatigue cannot be viewed through the lenses of a microscope, or seen on an x-ray. At the law firm of Jeffrey A. Rabin & Associates, Ltd., located in Des Plaines, Illinois we have assisted many clients in the successful pursuit of benefits associated with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS).

We have successfully represented clients nationwide in appealing the denial of their claims for Social Security Disability benefits related to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and we can help you with your initial filing or your appeal if you simply contact our office.

Medical Documentation Necessary in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Cases

In cases involving Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), the Social Security Administration (SSA) tends to make its determination based on a comprehensive overview of the medical evidence specific to your case. This medical evidence will include the extent and nature of the treatment provided by the various physicians who treat you and the clinical chart created for you at every visit.

Consequently, it is imperative that all of your medical records demonstrate a consistency of complaints common to your disease, such as the overwhelming fatigue, weakness and muscle aches, low grade fevers, and chronic headaches associated with your illness. This will help establish a specific pattern regarding your debilitating illness that will be apparent when the SSA reviews your case.

The Social Security Administration is not as interested in the diagnosis when reviewing your case; rather, they are looking for evidence to support the claim that fatigue associated with your disease rises to the level that impairs your ability to perform even the simplest daily tasks consistently.
