Yikes!

If one files for unemployability they will consider it an increase on all listed conditions- Doesn't sound like you did that though.

They recently did the same to me- added items for which I had no diagnosis.

I'd ask whomever is assisting you to object- in writing. Ask them point-blank to remove the disabilities (aka 'Contentions') If you don't have someone, call and/or write yourself to have this done.
