My blood sugar was so high they had to tranfer me to another hospital ICU to stabelise me. The doctors told me that I had advanced stage diabetes, Peripheral Neurpathy. My treatment program consists of five shots daily and three blood glucose monitorings daily between meals. When I called Socil Security Administration they told me I had only 19 quarter credits for SS Disability thus not qualifying for SS Disability so I must apply for SSI. Now here is the kicker. 3 years ago I applied for SS disability, but my doctor at the veterans hospital never checked me for diabetes. The reason I applied for disabilty was the I kept falling down and twisting my ankles; also because I felt very weak and couldn't stand for more than ten minutes at a time. My current doctors told me that this was most likely from my peripheral neuropathy and diabetes. So my symptoms were from diabetes, I just had not been diagnosed yet.

My boyfriend, will be 65 in November, and will start collecting SS. If we were, to get married, could I collect SSDI, through his SS benefits. If so, would the amount he receives from SS change.
