Endocrine Disorders Removed from SSA Listing of Impairments

Effective June 7, 2011, endocrine disorders were removed from Social Security Administration (SSA) listing of impairments. However, this doesn't necessarily mean an individual cannot obtain disability benefits. Florida disability lawyers can determine if you meet other criteria and assist you with the process of filing your Social Security disability claim.

Types of Endocrine Disorders Removed from SSA Listing of Impairments

If you or a loved one is suffering from the removed impairments, you still may be able to receive disability benefits under another group of impairments. 

• Addison's disease;
• diabetes (gestational, type 1 and type 2);
• Graves' disease;
• hyperglycemia;
• hyperthyroidism;
• thyroid disorders (including cancer); and
• osteoporosis. 

Some of the complications of these disorders could fall under another listing and meet other criteria, so seeking legal help should be your next step in order to determine what options are available to you.

Although endocrine disorders were removed from the SSA list of impairments, if you are already receiving disability benefits for one of these conditions, you will continue to be evaluated under the old criteria. However, if you are filing a new Social Security disability claim, Florida disability lawyers can help determine if your endocrine disorder meets other criteria.
