Diabetics who are fighting for their diabetes social security disability benefits have an uphill battle. If you've filed your application on your own, without legal representation, you've probably begun to realize that you may be in over your head. The confusing and time consuming process of filing an original diabetes social security disability claim is only compounded when it's time to follow an appeal and then subsequent appeals. The process can often drag on over a significant time period, as your symptoms continue.
Bringing an attorney who specializes in diabetes social security disability cases onto your team is one of the best things you'll be able to do to help yourself win. With years of experience and many disability cases in their repertoire, the attorney will be able to provide you with advice and guidance as to how best present your diabetes social security disability case.
If any of your symptoms have changed since you first began your application, that will be very important to your case. Diabetics have a tendency to develop complications, such as heart disease, high blood pressure, and periodontal disease. Kidney disease is another common diabetes complication, and can lead to chronic dialysis or the need for a kidney transplant. Nervous system disease might cause pain or lack of feeling in hands or feet, and can lead to amputations. Older diabetics are often unable to walk as little as one quarter mile or climb stairs- symptoms that could certainly effect a diabetes social security disability case.
To help your attorney prepare your appeals, track your symptoms carefully. Be very detailed- if you experience shortness of breath after walking, make a note of how far you walked. Write down specific notes about when you experience impaired sensation or pain in your hands and feet. If your doctor diagnoses you with high blood pressure or hypertension, make a note of it. All these details will help build your diabetes social security disability case.
