One impairment mentioned is Ulnar Neuropathy. Is this alone an impairment that can declare you as disabled? I think age as alot too do with it also. A standing up job requires the person to stand 6 out of 8 hrs and I am unable too do that with 2 impairments.
I think you have answered your oen question. Once one disabilit is found severe then it's mandatory for the rest of the illnesses to be taken into consideration.
