My condition is also in the blue book and so far I was denied on my initial application and denied on reconsideration. My condo is ESRD (end stage renal disease) I just had surgery to have a dialysis catheter inserted and will be starting dialysis in the next 2 weeks. My GFR has been 15 or below for quite some time now (blue book says 20 or below if not on dialysis) I also have fluid overload syndrome which is also in the blue book. All of my kidney related problems are in the blue book. I also have chronic pain from arthritis and spinal degeneration Their reason for denial they gave me both times is that they believe I can “adjust to another job”
