A member asked:
I want to obtain a schedule a disability letter from my pcp, would narcolepsy qualify me?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unable to work: As a primary care physician, I only fill out disability paperwork if the patient is truly disabled. This means trying medications like Provigil to see if we can manage symptoms and allow the patient to live a normal live. If you are able to work, then disability would not be for you. Hope this makes sense.
