If you’ve found this article, chances are you know the debilitating nature of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS).
CFS is a complex ailment characterised by excessive exhaustion that lasts for at least six months and that is not fully explained by an underlying medical condition. Physical or mental exertion makes the tiredness worse; rest does not make it better.
Additional identifying signs comprise:
This condition is also known as myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) or more recently, systemic illness with exertional intolerance (SEID).
Although there are many theories for the cause of CFS, from viral infections to psychological stress, the origin of chronic fatigue syndrome is unknown. According to some specialists, several variables may contribute to chronic fatigue syndrome.
The diagnosis of chronic fatigue syndrome cannot be verified by a single test. To rule out other health issues that have comparable symptoms, you might require a number of medical tests. Sadly, the current goal of treatment for chronic fatigue syndrome is to reduce symptoms.
Know your rights.
Most disability insurance claims are cause-agnostic, meaning that it is irrelevant what injury or illness causes you to be unable to work.
If you can demonstrate that your CFS is diagnosed, disabling and that you are unlikely to return to work within your education, training and experience you may have good prospects of success for a total and permanent disability (TPD) claim.
That said, because of the sometimes-controversial nature of a chronic fatigue diagnosis, it pays to have informed legal advice and access to doctors who understand the nature of the condition.
The above also applies equally to those suffering from chronic regional pain syndrome (CRPS) and fibromyalgia.
If you are yet to make a trauma, income protection or total and permanent disability claim because of your CFS, you are entitled to legal representation and Littles can help you.
If you have already lodged a claim and it has been rejected by a superannuation fund or insurer, you may be entitled to have the decision reviewed through an internal resolution procedure.
If your complaint has been upheld, you may be able to litigate in a court or lodge a complaint with the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA).
There are strict time limits to challenge an insurer’s decision, so it’s important you seek legal advice as soon as possible.
