corina Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Achilles, I think there are several members here who are on disability due to POTS. I am too though I'm in The Netherlands so procedures will be different here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bustersacc11 Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 I am on disability r/t my dysautonomia. I do not have POTS. Are you just wondering if people get granted disability with dysautonomia or is there something more specific that you are looking for?

bustersacc11 Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 I understand. If you have any specific questions about applying and the process don't hesitate to ask and I will do my best to answer. I share this with you since everyone has varying degrees of POTS. From my experience, even if I had a POTS dx., they were looking more at my symptoms and whether or not I was able to engage in substantial gainful activities because of my physical impairments. Further, it was supported and established by my medical records, tests, dr notes, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 I have been on disability due to POTS for 10 years. There isn't a specific code they can use so they used some code that is usually used for elderly people who have diabetes and it causes orthostatic hypotension.I applied, was denied, appealed, got denied, appealed again, got denied, got an attorney and appealed and had to go to court. I was mostly bed bound at the time and the initial denial said I should go work in an office when I couldn't even sit up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
