Yes, fibromyalgia is a condition accepted by Social Security. But it is also one of the most denied, and the reason is not medical. As Disability lawyers near Torrance, we see the same problem in almost every one of these cases: there is no X ray or blood test that shows Social Security what you feel every single day.

Here is what we do differently. We document the pattern, not just the diagnosis: how many days a month you can’t get out of bed, how long you can sit before you have to move, how many times you have had to cancel commitments. We work with your doctor so their notes record your functional limitations at every visit, not just your symptoms. And we document the other conditions that almost always accompany fibromyalgia, like sleep problems, depression, or anxiety, because Social Security evaluates the combined effect of everything.

If you live with fibromyalgia and can no longer work, call us before applying alone. A first application documented correctly saves years.
