I HAVE charcot foot/arthropathy, and REFUSE to allow it to be a disability. I will always find a way to get things done, at work and at home. Also, if I tell the powers that be (the ones who decide if I would get money for a 'disability,') that i cannot walk, stand etc, that rules out walking for exercise as well as walking for fun. Nope. I won't allow it to be a disability, and I hope, if you are still able to get around, you won't either.
If your bones are sticking through your skin, then maybe I could see it as a disability. Get custom shoes and orthotics. They accommodate a charcot foot so we can still walk and be productive.

Symptoms of Charcot foot include swelling, which occurs without a significant injury, redness, chronic ulcerations that open through the skin, and bone instability found on x-ray. It is important to keep track of any new health conditions that arise and check with a doctor to make sure that it is not something that requires treatment.
