Fibromyalgia And Social Security Disability

Fibromyalgia is a disabling condition that was not previously recognized by the Social Security Administration (SSA). While it is now recognized as a qualifying disabling condition for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits, a diagnosis from a general physician is insufficient to qualify. Sufferers of this condition must work with a rheumatologist as well as a neurologist, possibly, to have their diagnoses recognized.

Symptoms of fibromyalgia include:

  • Chronic widespread pain
  • Excessive pain response to tactile pressure
  • Fatigue
  • Muscle spasms

Building a successful claim for SSDI benefits for fibromyalgia calls for specific diagnostic information. The SSA breaks the body down into 18 quadrants; 11 of these quadrants must be affected for a claim to be recognized as valid. We can help your doctor present his or her diagnosis in a way that the SSA will recognize.
