Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), also known as myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), post-viral fatigue syndrome (PVFS), or chronic fatigue immune dysfunction syndrome (CFIDS), is a complex condition often misunderstood and misdiagnosed. Its symptoms, akin to fibromyalgia minus the pain, can sometimes lead to confusion with other conditions like fibromyalgia or depression.
Navigating denied chronic fatigue disability claims in Alberta or Saskatchewan can be overwhelming, especially considering the secondary issues it can trigger. These may include strains on relationships, financial hardships, social isolation, and the onset of reactive depression. Unfortunately, misconceptions surrounding CFS persist among healthcare professionals, insurance representatives, and legal experts, with some attributing it to mere laziness.

Proving chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) presents a unique challenge due to the absence of a definitive diagnostic test. In assessing CFS claims, the focus lies on the severity of symptoms and their impact on your ability to maintain your previous level of functioning.
Our legal team delves into the contrast between your life before and after the onset of CFS. In chronic fatigue syndrome disability claims in Alberta or Saskatchewan, we emphasize not only how CFS affects your work performance but also how it curtails your participation in recreational activities, social engagements, and time spent with loved ones. We leverage anecdotal evidence, such as disruptions in hobbies, sports activities, or family outings, to underscore the extent of your disability.
For many of our clients, CFS inflicts significant social and financial repercussions. The greater the disparity between your pre- and post-CFS life, the more compelling the case for disability benefits under Alberta or Saskatchewan law. Our goal is to highlight these discrepancies and secure the chronic fatigue disability claims you rightfully deserve.
