Trusted San Diego Attorney Proving Disability For Diabetes Complications, Crohn’s And IBD
The Social Security Administration (SSA) does not grant disability simply because you have diabetes or Crohn’s disease. Living with these conditions is hard enough. What truly matters, and what the SSA demands to see, is how your symptoms and complications physically prevent you from sustaining work. I am attorney Cory A. DeLellis, and I will help you prove exactly that.
When Diabetes Complications Drive A Claim
As a diabetic neuropathy SSDI attorney San Diego residents rely on, I understand that diabetes itself rarely qualifies someone for benefits. The disabling conditions that follow it often do. I will focus on building claims around the specific damage diabetes has caused to your body:
- Peripheral neuropathy that limits your ability to use your hands, stand or walk for extended periods
- Retinopathy causing significant vision loss that interferes with basic work tasks
- Nephropathy leading to kidney failure and the physical demands of dialysis
These complications carry real, measurable limitations that the SSA can evaluate. Each one can support a strong disability case on its own.
Crohn’s Disease And IBD: The Workplace Reality
If you are looking for a Crohn’s disease disability lawyer, you already know that life with Crohn’s or inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is unpredictable. The argument I will make is straightforward. An employer cannot accommodate someone who:
- Needs urgent and frequent unscheduled restroom breaks throughout the day
- Experiences severe abdominal pain that disrupts concentration and task completion
- Suffers from chronic fatigue that reduces the ability to maintain consistent productivity
No employer is required to tolerate that level of disruption. That reality becomes your legal argument.
The RFC: Where Cases Are Won
Residual Functional Capacity (RFC) is the legal standard the SSA uses to measure what you can still do. I will document how your specific limitations, such as elevating your legs due to neuropathy, frequent restroom breaks and inability to concentrate, would make you unemployable across all job categories. Disability for IBD Riverside claimants often comes down to this exact analysis.
