Social Security Disability

Research has shown that up to half of CFIDS patients are unemployed due to their illness. Many of them depend on disability insurance, and especially programs provided by the U.S. government's Social Security Administration (SSA), to make ends meet. The CFIDS Association publishes a free brochure and that may help you and your doctor establish your Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) case. The brochure includes information about Supplemental Security Income (SSI), an insurance program for disabled children or economically disadvantaged adults who have not accumulated enough years of work to qualify for SSDI, as well as resources to help you find an attorney.
