I'm a 56 y.o. male, college educated, employed as a service manager for a large automotive repair facility.
Diabetic (insulin dep.) for 18 yrs. with no apparent problems until recently. In the last year I have developed neuropathy in both feet and lower legs, cannot maintain normal blood sugars and have increasing pain in feet and hands. I am still employed and will continue to work as I'm not limited at this time.
My question(s): I have short term and long term disability at work, I'm a vietnam era vet and have va benefits.
What should I do to prepare for the future in regards to the soc. sec. admn. and a possible claim for benefits?
What should I do at work to prepare my employer that there might be future health problems?
Should I wait until my condition becomes debilitating or not.
