Please sign the
petition asking Congress to include Narcolepsy as a disabling condition
in the Social Security Administration's "Blue Book".
Did
you know that narcolepsy is not considered a disabling condition by the
Social Security Adminstration? It's true. Because of that, the
application of a narcoleptic for Social Security Disability Benefits
(SSDI) will almost always be denied, requiring often two appeals before
the application finally goes before an Executive Law Judge at the State
level. It is incredibly difficult for a narcoleptic to get SSDI,
normally taking an average of THREE YEARS to go through the entire
process.
A
friend of ours, Sharon Denise Remo, has put up a petition on the US
Congress' web site asking that narcolepsy be added to SSA's list of
disabling illnesses, something that would tremendously speed up the
process of getting SSDI. Please sign the petition. You can find it
at:
We will all be very grateful to you. Thanks!
