Guest guest Posted May 19, 2003 Report Share Posted May 19, 2003 Actually, I was approved in about 75 days for morbid obesity with no denial. I only had to prove one other disorder or illness. I was able to prove morbid obesity, congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder, hyperthyroidism, diabetes, sleep apnea, and elevated cholesterol level. Actually a diagnosis of morbid obesity and diabetes would work if he is completely disabled. Being approved is just as much a possibility as being denied. If denied, you can always appeal it.
