I found this on the "face pain" web site that was referred to in earlier post by Margi. It has info on social security disability claims. Some of our Chronic Sufferers may have been through this already. If not it may be worth the effort for some. The note states it takes several years and usually requires appeals, but ultimately these claims are approved. Also note that this applies to "face pain" which I would guess is mostly trigeminal neuralgia. I would also guess cluster headaches are similarly well documented, though similarly rare, and likely eventually approved. http://www.facepain.com/disability.htm or click below. Thought it to be worth posting, Rich
