Insist that your health problems are CUMULATIVE, meaning they are a collection of ailments that have added up over time and now you are in this condition.

That's what someone told me and it was the key term to use, that way they can't focus on one ailment.

Just sayin'.

GOOD LUCK AND I HOPE YOU WIN YOUR CASE!!!
