Diabetes Claims

Diabetes can reduce your quality of life and lead to many serious health complications that will limit your ability to work and support yourself. You know it. Your family, friends and co-workers know it too. The difficulty lies in getting the Social Security Administration (SSA) to agree.

Diabetes As a Qualifying SSD Claim

In June 2011, the SSA will no longer accept diabetes and most other endocrine system disorders as qualifying disorders for Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits. The one exception to this is for children under the age of six who must take daily insulin shots to manage their diabetes. With this knowledge, you may be wondering how you can meet the medical disability guidelines for diabetes.

As long as you have the right dedicated legal counsel by your side, it is possible to still obtain SSD benefits for diabetes-related conditions, including:

  • Foot swelling, numbness, pain or sores that severely limit a person's ability to stand or walk
  • Numbness and or tingling in hands that can severely limit a person's ability to perform the fine motor skills
  • Blurry or distorted vision
