Description

This article is from the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) FAQ, by cfs-news@cais.com (Roger Burns) with numerous contributions by others.

4.02 What problems do I face in seeking disability benefits? This section will describe some resources for USA disability benefits. Contact the national organizations under question 5.06 for other countries.

Some on-line files have some helpful information. See the CFS Social
Security web page. You can get those same files by e-mail from the
STJOHNS Listserv, specifically files named CFIDS941 RYAN, CFS SOCSEC1,
CFS SOCSEC2, CFS SOCSEC5 and CFS SOCSEC6. See Appendix 1 below for
instructions on how to obtain these files via e-mail.

A "Disability Packet" is available for $5.00 from the CFIDS
Association (see question
5.06 for the address). They also offer the "Disability Workbook for
Social Security
Applicants" by Douglas Smith, Atty. for $15.00.
