Guest guest Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Hi , I think it is very difficult to get disability. You could ask the question of HealingWell I know that there are people the post on there that have tried and could share their experience. Good Luck, Karol From: erquinn Sent: Wednesday, January 26, 2011 1:32 PM Subject: [ ] Is it worth it to apply for disability? I was just wondering if any of you wonderful people have any imput on this? I started the process but i am unsure of whether i will even get approved even though I have been through the ringer for the past three years. Thank you for any input and advice. It is greatly appreciated. My husband and I are at the end of our rope but this is vobsuming a ton of time and energy that I don't have a lot of. (as I am sure you all know.)

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 I got approved and am still on partial disability. But, I think initially my doctor wrote it up as heart problems. So I don't know if there's a problem if it is written up as Chronic Lyme. Connie [ ] Is it worth it to apply for disability?

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 one of the easier ways to go with social security disability is to use the Chronic Fatigue diagnoses as SSDI has criteria for approving that diagnoses for disability. and it is pretty easy to document. here is the link to the requirements for chronic fatigue syndrome http://www.ssa.gov/OP_Home/rulings/di/01/SSR99-02-di-01.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
