Many claimants suffer from medical conditions that cause disabling symptoms
but are difficult to diagnose and/or document. These conditions are known as
"hidden disabilities". Medical conditions such as Fibromyalgia, Chronic
Fatigue Syndrome and Lyme disease are some examples of these medical
conditions. These cases must be presented with emphasis on different factors
than cases that lend themselves to clear "medically acceptable objective,
laboratory and clinical diagnostic techniques".
