Eastern Missouri and Southern Illinois Social Security Disability Lawyers
While millions of people in this country are able to continue working despite their diabetes, many others suffer from physical damage that can make it impossible to effectively perform the functions of their job.

At Crowe & Shanahan in St. Louis, we are committed to helping people with diabetes get the Social Security disability benefits they need.

We take pride in focusing our resources right here in St. Louis, eastern Missouri and southern Illinois. To schedule a consultation with a St. Louis diabetes disability attorney, please call 314-231-6660 or toll free at 877-213-7793.
How Is Diabetes Affecting You?
Diabetes can have many damaging effects that make working difficult or impossible. Among the common damage associated with diabetes is:
- Foot damage
- Organ damage
- Eye and retina injuries
To qualify for benefits, we will have to demonstrate that your ability to function is being hampered by diabetes and its complications. You will have to be unable to work for a continuous period of at least 12 months. However, if you are eventually able to return to work, you could receive back pay for your "closed period" of disability.
