Ohio Diabetes and Disability Lawyers
Diabetes and other endocrine disorders can cause serious complications and lead to a loss of function. If your diabetes makes it impossible for you to work for 12 months or longer, you may qualify for Social Security Disability benefits. While diabetes alone is not generally sufficient to get a claim approved, the damage it can do to your heart, intestines and other organs may support your claim.

Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes
Juvenile diabetes, or type 1 diabetes, is a chronic illness that requires daily insulin. While a child's disability cannot qualify a healthy adult for SSD benefits, low-income families with children with type 1 diabetes may be eligible for Supplemental Security Income. Adults with type 1 diabetes may qualify for SSD if they suffer from chronic hyperglycemia, diabetic ketoacidosis or other serious complications that prevent them from working.
Type 2 diabetes, or adult-onset diabetes, can also qualify a person for benefits if he or she cannot control the condition. The key is to be able to provide medical evidence of the condition, how it has impacted your overall health and what you have done to control the situation. We can help you gather the proper information to make a compelling claim for Social Security Disability benefits.
