Welcome to Season 5, Episode 28 of Winning Isn't Easy. In this episode, we'll dive into the complicated topic of "Disability and Disputed Illnesses: Navigating Claims Without Full Medical Recognition."

Some medical conditions cause symptoms so real and severe that they disrupt daily life, yet remain disputed or only partly recognized by mainstream medicine. For patients, it is not just a fight to be believed, it is also a fight to secure the disability benefits they need. With ERISA-governed Long-Term Disability insurance, the challenges are even greater. In this episode of Winning Isn’t Easy, disability law expert Nancy L. Cavey examines one of the most difficult areas of disability claims: conditions the medical community has not fully accepted. From chronic Lyme disease, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue syndrome to mental health diagnoses such as dissociative identity disorder, adult ADHD, and PTSD outside of combat, Nancy explains why these claims are often denied and what you can do about it. You will learn how insurers view subjective symptoms like pain, fatigue, and cognitive fog, why strong documentation and physician support matter, and the strategies that can help prove the impact of these conditions on your ability to work. Nancy also shares a real case example that shows how persistence and preparation can turn the tide. If you are living with a condition the medical world questions but your symptoms are real, this episode will give you the tools to fight for the benefits you deserve. Winning is not easy, but with the right strategy, it is possible.

In this episode, we'll cover the following topics:

One - Disputed Physical Conditions

Two - Disputed Mental Conditions

Three - Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS)

Whether you're a claimant, or simply seeking valuable insights into the disability claims landscape, this episode provides essential guidance to help you succeed in your journey. Don't miss it.
