Seeking Long Term Disability Benefits for Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is a condition that is difficult to diagnose. Many individuals have to seek second or third opinions from other doctors before an accurate diagnosis is made.

But even with an official diagnosis, it can be difficult to successfully obtain long term disability benefits. This is why it is important to work with an attorney throughout the process of seeking benefits.

Several common symptoms of fibromyalgia include:

  • Widespread pain
  • Fatigue
  • Cognitive difficulties

If you have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and wish to seek long term disability benefits, talk to an attorney from our firm. We understand how debilitating this condition can be, and we are committed to helping you seek the long term disability benefits you need and deserve, both under ERISA and non-ERISA policies. We work with medical experts, when necessary, to get the medical evidence information needed to proceed with your claim.

He suffered several broken ribs, but that was the least of his injuries. Within several weeks of the accident, he had partially lost his sight.
