According to the American Diabetes Association, there are approximately 20.8 million children and adults in the United States (or 7% of the population) who suffer from diabetes.
While approximately 14.6 million people have been diagnosed with diabetes, another 6.2 million people (or nearly one-third) are unaware that they have the disease.
SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS
If your diabetes is not under control, it can certainly affect your daily living activities and prevent you from working. In the event that you are unable to control your diabetes, you may be entitled to social security benefits if your diabetes results in:
- Retinopathy – visual impairment
- Neuropathy – problems using the hands, fingers, legs, and feet
- Acidosis – diabetes condition when the blood sugar is not under control.
You need to apply for Social Security Disability benefits as soon as you and your doctors agree that you have an injury that will prevent you from working. Unfortunately, many people have to wait for a while to see what happens with their medical condition and treatment.
