It is my understanding that the social security adm. puts a lot of weight on the fev1 and your height. They have a scale that they go by.
Also in conjunction with the fact if you take either IV or (inhaled antibiotic, tobi) every 6 months or more, one would qualify if you had supporting info from your Dr.

Scanboyd, just being on nebulized or IV antibiotics doesn't mean you meet the criteria. You must also have superimposed recurrent bacterial infections (basically a re-occuring lung infection like culturing staph. or pseudo.) at least once every 6 months and be put on the tobi or IV antibotic because of that.

Many CFers use tobi for maintenance reasons and wouldn't qualify because they don't have an accompanying lung infection.
