Diabetes and Disability

Hello,

I was talking to a doctor in charge of the theme the disability of the diabetics.Curious the explanation.

They ask you for a glycosilada and an emptyage measurement.If your glycosilada is more or less correct, that is, up to 6.8 you have no chances to be granted that disability.

However, if it is above 7 you are very likely to obtain it.

We were talking and I told her that it was not very fair if we do not value the sacrifice and effort of those who control it, with a healthy eating, much exercise and yet people who have a lot of overweight and lead a sedentary life, mostly people, who, whoNot everyone, they leave a little.If they get it.

What do you think?

Thank you!

And what province are you?Today, very very very complicated to obtain a disability of at least 33 percent, which is the only one that is worth ... or with glycos of 8, unless there are other complications that aggravate diabetes, and the typical diabeticNor do you give you many points, to raise the percentage.
If in your province they give it with what you say I change me right now ...

What criteria must be given in a person with diabetes so that their disease is considered a disability?

The RD 1971/1999 establishes four classes of disability percentage in the case of diabetes, to reach the minimum minimum required, it is necessary to be within classes three or four.

Class 3 (25% to 49%) requires that there have been hospitalizations for acute diabetes decompensations with a periodicity of up to three a year and with a duration of more than 48 hours each.
Class 4 (50% to 70%) establishes the same case of class 3 but in the event that there are more than three hospitalizations per year.
Regarding the latter, it is necessary to emphasize that the norm establishes that the cause must not be an inappropriate therapeutic control and, in both cases, would be reviewable at two years, so if the requirements are not met, that after thatperiod could withdraw the certificate.

If diabetes are joined by chronic complications of a more or less serious nature they would also be valued, but then we would not be talking only about diabetes.The same that will happen if any other disease is joined for diabetes, since several pathologies should be valued.

Well, I have class 3 (+33%) and I have not been hospitalized since I debuted 28 years ago, yes, I have complications but for now, controlled.

Before being diabetic you requested the degree of disability and already gave you 33%.Not now.That RD is from 1999, maybe since then they ask for more things to reach 33. For having diabetes without complications or more diseases they give you 2% for at least 18 years ago it was.

And how much do you say with other pathologies, who do we have to ask?Because the endocrine says as you, that by diabetes there is no possibility of trying, the neurologist for another chronic disease either.Could anyone think or give a global assessment of the person, and not every specialist?The header?

No, the GP, based on the reports of the specialist of the specialty/es, makes a kind of summary and treatments that you carry and with all these papers, the application for disability is presented

First it is requested and then they recognize you by the team of the valuation and orientation center.You take into account all the pathologies that you have for example if you have x%diabetes, more x%for something psychic plus x%due to hearing problems, ... it adds and that will be your degree of disability that they will give you

Well then on each site is done in a way, because in my case, I had to first go to the health center to social services to be given the papers of each disease, then to the hospital for the corresponding doctors, to fill them out, thento the header for the summary and with everything, present it.After 19 months, they answered me by letter with the % and the card that accredits it.

You made the request, but then I would have to go to the valuation center for recognition and thus be able to have a resolution.

I want to say that by presenting the reports is not enough they make you a physical examination.

Nobody has looked physically, once I delivered the reports, they told me: either they call you from the Medical Court to value you or you get a letter home with the percentage, and so it was, the letter came with my ailments and what they hadestimated according to the seriousness of each disease and already.
