Welcome to Season 2, Episode 14 of Winning Isn't Easy: Navigating Your Social Security Disability Claim. In this episode, we'll dive into Winning Your POTS Claim: Symptoms, Severity, and Outsmarting the SSA (POTS Part Three).
Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, or POTS, is a condition defined largely by symptoms – yet the Social Security Administration often discounts subjective complaints. Lightheadedness, brain fog, fatigue, palpitations, and exercise intolerance can significantly disrupt daily functioning, even when routine exams appear normal. That makes documenting, quantifying, and explaining symptoms essential. Because POTS includes multiple types (neuropathic, hyperadrenergic, hypovolemic, and secondary), clear medical records are critical. Without identifying your specific type, symptoms, and resulting functional limitations, even a correct diagnosis may not translate into benefits. In this episode of Winning Isn’t Easy, we explain how POTS is evaluated in disability claims, why symptom evidence carries so much weight, and how detailed documentation can make the difference between denial and approval. We also examine common pitfalls, the role of medical and third-party evidence, and how cases are won at the hearing level.
In this episode, we'll cover the following topics:
One – Subjective Evidence and Why the SSA Discounts It
Two – Types of POTS the SSA Does Not Understand
Three – The Disability Process and Why Representation Matters
Whether you're a claimant, or simply seeking valuable insights into the disability claims landscape, this episode provides essential guidance to help you succeed in your journey. Don't miss it.
