A member asked:

Can i get disability benefits for an arthritic foot?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It is possible: You may get disability benefits for an arthritic foot depending on the length of time it has been present, degenerative changes seen on imaging studies, and whether there are any restrictions on range of motion of the foot. You may require an independent medical examination to determine the extent of restriction of range of motion.
