If you go to the social security web page for diability there is a link
tha tgoes into all the disorders that you can recieve disability for.
You must meet and have drs records of proof of one of those very limited
disorders in order to get it. I do not think that PCOS is listed and it
will probably be are hard case to sell. I do not even think morbid
obesity made the cut, It is designed to limit the number of people
eligible. Good luck.
