in any shape or form and certainly not an expert on the subject. There are many at this board that have applied for, been turned down for, been excepted for, and just got fed up with disability insurance. They are the ones that maybe can answer the questions. IMHO though I wouldn't think (at least hope not) there would be any difference between being chronic or episodic. If a person can't work, they just can't work period. I can see a problem if someone was to go out on disability and then the cluster cycle ended. The job they left may not be there anymore. Disability compensation doesn't pay enough to live on for very long on it. For a chronic sufferer it could make a tough life even worse.
