DISABILITY BENEFITS FOR DIABETES
Diabetes is a common health problem and a common reason why Social Security disability claims get filed and approved.
As with most conditions, age makes a huge difference with Social Security disability claims based on diabetes. It becomes less difficult to be approved after age 50 and a good deal less difficult after age 55.
Another factor that makes a difference with Social Security disability claims is the extent of damage that diabetes has done to a person’s body. I don’t know that there can be a comprehensive list of all the things that diabetes can do to a body. Here are some of the more common:
- Eye damage
- Kidney damage
- Peripheral neuropathy –numbness, burning, tingling in the feet and lower legs
- Heart problems
- Blood circulation problems
- Stomach problems
- Liver damage
