No matter WHAT the illness, or whatever, if you do not reach 50% on their rather ambibguous scale, then no disability.
I have two types of diabetes, arthritis in my hands and left elbow, gout in feet and back, cartlidge problems, diagnosed lumbago, must use at LEAST one walking stick whenever I leave the house. But they will not register me as dissabled.
Diabetes, even if it is of the worse kind ever known, and may kill you stone dead tomorrow, only gets 20% MAXIMUM.
So if your Cousin is getting a single CENT, or a single "favour", she has more than diabetes.
