Even the Social Security Disability Administration can make it difficult for those with Fibromyalgia to get the Social Security Disability Benefits they deserve.

New Fibromyalgia Blood Test

Fibromyalgia has, in the past, been thought to be a rheumatological disorder, a central nervous system abnormality, or an interaction between the autonomic central nervous system, hypothalamic pituitary axis, and the immune system. The journal of BMC Clinical Pathology has published a study where researches measure plasma cytokine levels in a group of 110 patients with a diagnosis of Fibromyalgia and determined their responses to Mitogen of their perirhinal blood mononuclear cells. The cytokine levels of those patients were compared to a group of 91 healthy individuals. The study found that the cytokine level in healthy test participants was significantly increased as compared to those who have been diagnosed with FM. What’s the importance of that discovery? This shows that there’s a major set of differences in some mediated immunity in the Fibromyalgia group according to, Dr. Bruce S. Gillis, member of the clinical faculty of the University of Illinois Chicago College of Medicine. This study shows that Fibromyalgia patients have a “depressed and dysregulated immune system.” EpiGenetics has created the first test to objectively diagnose Fibromyalgia.

On the other hand, each long term disability policy has their own definition of disability that generally the

definition of disability

definition is the inability to engage in the material and substantial duties of your occupation.

The definitions are not the same.

In the Social Security determination, advancing age is factor in determining whether to award benefits and it treats advancing age as a limiting factor in ability to adjust to the work. On the other hand, long term disability carriers do not use age in assessing whether or not a policy holder meets its definition of disability. If your disability benefits have been delayed or denied, call long term disability attorney Nancy Cavey today at 727.894.3188 no obligation consultation.

How so? Each Administrative Law Judge has:

1. Their own way of conducting a hearing
2. Their own way of viewing the evidence. Some Administrative Law Judges like Memorandums of Law before hearing while others want opening statements.

This new policy is being investigated by the Department of Justice and we will keep you advised as to whether or not the identity of the Administrative Law Judge will be held secret. We are hoping with the appointment of a new Social Security administrative process, the policy will be overturned.
