    Diabetes Is Listed As A Disabling Disease Under Social Security

    The good news for people suffering from diabetes is that the Social Security Administration (SSA) lists diabetes specifically in the list of medical impairments covered by Social Security.

    In order for you to qualify for Social Security benefits for diabetes, you must show that:

    • You actually suffer from diabetes mellitus.
    • You suffer from neuropathy (significant and persistent disorganization of the motor function in two extremities caused by pain or numbness).
    • You suffer from acidosis.
    • You suffer from diabetic retinopathy (significant loss of peripheral vision or loss of visual acuity).

    Even if you are initially denied benefits, don’t give up. Many diabetics who were initially denied were later approved through the appeals process. This serious medical condition can eventually lead to kidney failure; it is important to seek medical treatment immediately.

    Speak To Your Doctor — Best Way To Prove Your Disability

    The main problem that people encounter when trying to apply for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits is that they fail to obtain objective evidence from their doctor about their symptoms. Many symptoms associated with diabetes are subjective in nature and difficult to quantify. The only real way to prove the nature and extent of your disability is through a consistent record created by a physician who can document the severity your medical condition.

    My experience with Jeffrey A Rabin has been very good.

    My approval of Social Security disability benefits came much quicker than I had expected. I first met with an associate on April 16, 2020 and we filed my application on May 21, 2020. My application was approved on August 3, 2020, only around a four month process. Even though we were at the beginning of this coronavirus outbreak when we started, it was easy to contact them and complete this process.

    Thank you so much for all you and the staff have done for me.

    It meant a lot to me every time I called and whoever I talked to knew all about my case. It was wonderful that I didn’t get pushed from one person to another. Your staff was always happy; they acted like they personally know me. But most of all I CAN’T BELIEVE HOW FAST YOU HAD MY CASE DONE. You and your staff really put a smile on my face. Thank you for doing what I couldn’t get done. Everyone will know Jeffrey A. Rabin & Associate

    This was an outstanding experience for me from my first appointment to the last.

    This Law Firm was very professional kind and considerate of me and my disability. They knew exactly what it was like for me in the real world and absolutely essential to help me explain that and my disability to the Social Security Administration. I definitely could not have done this without them and they have changed my life for the better forever. In my eyes they are the best social security disability law firm in Chicago and the suburbs.

    I filed for my disability and got denied twice. So I decided that I needed help of a lawyer.

    I began to search and in the process of me searching I always look @ the reviews if I see more bad than good reviews I move on to the next, but not with these guys I didn’t they helped me thru the whole process and assured me if there was a problem or concern I had to reach out and they would help me anyway they could, I dealt with with a few ppl there in the office I must say from the receptionist down to the paralegals they are awesome...

    I wanted to say thank you for everything that you did for me, I greatly appreciate it.

    You believed in me when a lot and social security did not. I was a risk for you to pay for my medical records, not knowing if you would win, if I had not won you would have been out of a lot of money and time. I have known other attorney’s, and have worked with them in the past, but they are nothing like you! You are a very kind generous human being with compassion. I pray that God will bless you practice and make you very successful ...
