diagnosed with type 2 diabetes
in VA Disability Claims Research
Posted
Hi All,
I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in 1990, 15 years after I was out of the service. Due to me not being able to control it I have been on insulin. My job working split shifts and eating on the run was not conducive to keeping it under control. My most recent endicrinologist continues to treat me with insulin as if I have type 1. In my medical records it states that I was diagnosed with type 2 in 1990. I applied for diasability and was denied. I believed that the VA only looked at my most recent endicrinologists records. I am going to appeal and was hoping that someone else may have had this problem and if they appealed and won. Any information would be helpful!
