Social Security Denied Diabetes

The listing under Social Security Disability entitled Diabetes mellitus can best be explained as follows:

(1) Neuropathy, demonstrated by significant and persistent disorganization of motor function in two extremities resulting in sustained disturbance of gross and dexterous movement of gait and station; or

(2) Acidosis, occurring at least on the average of once every 2 months documented by appropriate blood chemical tests; or

(3) Retinitis proliferans, evaluate the visual impairment under the criteria in 2.02 and 2.03

I most commonly encounter clients with part (A) due to diabetes, it seems to be the most prevalent issue. However, visual impairments due to diabetes would certainly be at the least the second most impairment I see in regards to representing persons with diabetes.

Diabetes is a difficult and complex disease, it is for this reason I seek medical clarifications from a Registered Nurse sometimes when working with these cases. Should you need assistance in your disability claim, please feel free to phone us at toll free 1 (877) 271-2633 or on the web at

I would be pleased to help you.
