The searing pain associated with migraine headaches can be excruciating. Unfortunately, an estimated 10 percent of the American population is diagnosed with Migraine Headache Syndrome, which leaves many sufferers unable to work.<\/p>\n
Individuals suffering from migraines may be eligible for Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits, but proving the disability<\/a><\/strong> can be difficult. This is because there\u2019s no specific listing in the Social Security Administration\u2019s Blue Book of conditions that outlines what symptoms and occurrences qualify\u00a0 migraine sufferers for benefits.<\/p>\n Some have called for a listing to be added, but the federal government has taken no action. In the meantime, it\u2019s important for migraine sufferers considering applying for SSD to document their conditions in a detailed fashion. Luckily, help is available.<\/p>\n
