You don't need to answer, but just understand that type II diabetes and high blood pressure rarely can be proven to effect a person's ability to work and claiming that they do may effect your credibility. Does your hip and femur effect your ability to sit and perform an unskilled sedentary job? Even those that require a cane to walk or have lost a limb are routinely denied SSI/SSDI benefits.

You have the burden to prove you qualify for SSI/SSDI regardless if you have insurance or not. You should sit down and write out which of your impairments effect your ability to work starting from the most severe to the least--use that list when you fill out SS paperwork, concentrating your energy on the most severe.
