"Endocrine Disorders Removed from Social Security List of Impairments"

[Dolphin]

I got this a couple of days ago from The Invisible Disabilities Association. I thought it might be of interest to one or more people:

June 7, 2011 - "...the Social Security Administration (SSA) will remove endocrine disorders from its Listing of Impairments used to evaluate Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) applications. Allsup, the nations leading SSDI representation organization, explains what this change could mean to individuals with diabetes, hypoglycemia, thyroid disorders and other endocrine disorders who are unable to work and contemplating filing for SSDI."

No questions to me on this (I don't even live in the US). (I'm not saying there can't be a discussion of course, just I most likely won't say anything).
