Major Setback in Possible Cause of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

When a debilitating disease results in disability, then you may be eligible to receive long-term disability benefits.

According to a report from Health Day, there is a major setback to the possible cause of chronic fatigue syndrome, which has been a disease difficult to understand. It can lead to a significantly lower quality of life for those who suffer from it and affect their ability to even work.

In 2009, researchers believed they had found the possible cause of chronic fatigue syndrome, a viral pathogen. But now researchers find that discovery was flawed and that the viral pathogen is not the cause. They do indicate that it doesn't entirely rule out the possibility of another virus being involved, however.

Chronic fatigue syndrome can result in a number of crippling symptoms besides extreme fatigue including headaches and joint pain. Currently there are no treatments available.

If you have been diagnosed with any severe medical condition that leads you to miss an extended time from work, then you may qualify to receive long-term disability benefits.

A Deerfield Beach long-term disability attorney can evaluate your case to determine eligibility and assist you with applying for benefits. If you have been denied disability benefits, they can also help in appealing your claim.

Long-term disability benefits may be available to those who have purchased a disability plan from a private insurer or have coverage through an employer. Unfortunately, the insurers don't make it easy for the disabled to get access to the benefits they deserve.
