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 upon diabetes. It become less difficult to be approved after age 50 and a good deal less difficult after age 55.

    Another factors that make a difference with Social Security disability claims is the extent of damage that the 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
