Getting Social Security Disability Benefits for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in Minnesota

If you have trouble sleeping or you wake up feeling like you never slept at all, you could have the impairment of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, or CFS. No specific pathology or etiology has been established for CFS. It is a real condition, and it can be disabling. If you are unable to work full-time because of the symptoms of fatigue, you may be approved for Social Security benefits in Minnesota.

In order to be considered disabled, the very first step is to be diagnosed by a medical professional. A diagnosis can be based on persistent and reproducible muscle tenderness. In our legal experience, CFS can be confirmed when other possible diagnoses have been eliminated by your treating doctor.

Among the many regulations, there is also a specific ruling that Social Security must follow at the hearing level with a federal judge.

If you have been diagnosed or you believe you have CFS and you cannot function day-to-day, please contact the Hoglund Law Offices to find out more about whether you may have a claim for Social Security Disability benefits.

* Home visits are typically available within a fifty mile radius of the major metro areas. The Bottom Line is that you will not spend a 'dime' out of pocket for our law firm to represent you. The only way our law firm gets paid any money is if you get back back benefits. Out of the back benefits, the Social Security Administration withholds 25% of that and sends it directly to our office to pay your Attorney's Fees. You keep the remaining 75%. 99% of our clients that win their claim receive a back benefits check from Social Security. The average back benefits check paid to our clients is about $6,000 - $9,000. Now, if you receive back benefits that amount could be more or less depending on an individual's case. Remember this is only an example, but it is likely that you will receive some money for back benefits if we won your case.
