If you have been diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), you may be eligible to receive Social Security Disability benefits if you are unable to work. Determining whether you are eligible depends on whether the Social Security Administration considers your condition to be debilitating.
Much about chronic fatigue syndrome is still unknown, and controversy still surrounds this condition. It is important for anyone who has been diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome to seek representation from an attorney who is highly experienced in disability benefits law. At Burnett & Driskill, we devote our entire practice to helping disabled people obtain the benefits they are entitled to under any disability insurance program or policy.

Proving Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Chronic fatigue syndrome is characterized by extreme fatigue that does not improve with rest, and may get worse with increased activity. Symptoms are often flu-like, and typically appear for the first time after an individual is highly stressed.
The Social Security Administration has determined that chronic fatigue syndrome meets the criteria to be considered a medically determinable impairment. However, it is still difficult to successfully seek benefits for this condition. It needs to be shown that your condition is disabling and prevents you from being able to work.
