Chronic Lyme Disease – Executive Director, 55 years old

Our client contracted Lyme disease that went untreated for many years and she suffered from severe chronic fatigue, insomnia, chronic headaches, chronic pain and anxiety that prevented her from working. The client attempted to file for benefits on her own but was unable to complete the original claim paperwork. After filing her claim, we obtained all the clients records, a lyme disease residual functional capacity questionnaire from her primary care physician and a mental residual functional capacity questionnaire from her treating psychiatrist and submitted these documents to the Social Security Administration. Her claim was approved shortly after the medical records and statements from her treating medical providers were submitted to Disability Determination Services.
