Multiple Chemical Sensitivity & Chemical Imbalance Disability Insurance Claim

We live in a world of chemicals, and for many individuals, exposure to even small amounts can become a debilitating problem. There are several names for this: Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, MCS, Chemical Imbalance, Environmental Illness or “Idiopathic Environmental Intolerance” or IEI.

Symptoms range widely from person to person, but most often include headaches, fatigue, dizziness, nausea, congestion, sore throat, chest pain, breathing problems, muscle stiffness, diarrhea, skin rashes, trouble concentrating, memory impairments and mood changes.

The toxins that set off these symptoms also vary from person to person, and they can include everything from secondhand tobacco smoke, perfume, diesel or automobile exhaust, perfume, insecticides, chlorine and other chemicals that are found in the home and the workplace. When someone has an extreme case of MCS, they face problems not just with the illness, but with the disability insurance company. There is no consensus among the medical community that MCS is a condition, with some suggesting that is heightened allergies, or a reflection of depression or anxiety. That gives the disability insurance company all the room they need to deny claims.
