You shoulg qualify for Social Security Disability for ESRD (End Stage Renal Disease), automatically if you have undergone home peritoneal dialysis training, or have begun peritoneal or hemodialysis. Your doctor will have to fill out some forms, as will you, and there may be a brief interview with a SSA personnel, sometimes done via telephone. ( At least that was the case when I applied, but that was about 15 years ago). But, provided you are continuing dialysis, you will be eligible for SSDI, Used to be that you were eligible for disability for up to 12 months after stopping dialysis, or 36 months after rreceiving a kidney transplant, fi ESRD was the sole reason for disability.
Have you discussed transplantation with your doctor yet? You should consider discussing this option, and looking into transplant centers in your area to list at, when the time comes. And remember -- you can list at more than one center, as long as the centers are not in the same area (i.e. state). Living in New Jersey, I listed for my last kidney transplant at both a NJ center, and a Pennsylvania center, and was called and transplanted at the PA center.

I THINK Stage IV is called End Stage Renal Disease, and yes, it does automatically qualify you for SS. Is this the stage where you start Dialysis? If so, I believe that's an auto-qualifier, just fill out the paperwork. That's tough stuff, and I wish you all the best. My prayers are with you.
I would suggest you start researching natural remedies for this, in case you could get your kidney's in better working condition. This may or may not be advisable to your doctor, however, I'm learning that some things are better off treated naturally or with some 'natural type' support. Good Luck!

You should qualify, but be prepared for a long fight. I'm a kidney transplant recipient with a hearing loss, learning disability, and hip displasia and arthritis in my knees and I have been turned down 3 times for disability and waiting for a court date. Here are some websites that may be of assistance. Good luck to you!

Forget anything you have ever been told about Diabetes.
And get this - it has nothing to do with insulin, exercise, diet or anything else you've heard in the past. It's all based on latest breakthrough research that Big Pharma is going Stir Crazy to hide from you.
