Diabetes Symptoms and Social Security Disability
If your diabetes is giving you such symptoms that you are unable to hold a full time job, you may be eligible for Social Security Disability/SSI benefits even before your retirement years!
Diabetes, if severe enough it can cause many symptoms which can impact your ability to work. Some of the major symptoms from diabetes are dizziness, excessive thirst, hunger and tiredness along with frequent urination. Some other symptoms from diabetes are diabetic neuropathy in the extremities which can cause severe numbness, tingling and pain. Also, if severe enough a diabetic patient can have amputations due to diabetic necrosis or peripheral arterial disease as well as vision problems such as retinitis.
The medications taken for diabetes can also give you side effects which can also impact your ability to hold full time employment. Many of our diabetic clients also suffer from depression since they have severe side-effects and symptoms.
How to apply for Social Security Disability/SSI if your diabetic symptoms are stopping you from holding a full time job:
