What if i can't work because of cfs? is it a disability
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not by itself: CFS isn't a medically definable impairment. You have to have other conditions that combine with it to equal a disability listing, or you have to establish that your residual functional capacity is low enough to qualify on that basis; with cfs alone, that just doesn't happen.
