Asked on Jan 22nd, 2013 on Social Security Disability - Kentucky
More details to this question:
II have chronic kidney disease stage 4 close to stage 5 and already have had a fistula put in my arm for dialysis. I have renal artery stenosis, multiple kidney polyps, diabetes type 2, high blood pressure, high cholesterol issues, asthma. I have also been injured on the job ad have permanent limitations so I can only work 4 hours a day, 5 days a week. The limitations prevent me from doing my letter carrier duties-no lifting more than 10 lbs, no lifting above shoulder height, no carrying a letter bag, no repetitive motion back and forth. Can I file for social security disability?
