However, the C&P examiner may conduct lab tests (bloodwork) to help rule out any other chronic conditions.

You’ll want to explain to the C&P examiner HOW your Chronic Fatigue Syndrome symptoms are limiting or affecting your work, life, and social functioning. For example,

• How often do you have symptoms?
• How severe are your symptoms and do they limit or affect your work, life, and social functioning?

Be prepared to tell your true story about the frequency, severity, and duration of your Chronic Fatigue Syndrome symptoms over time.
