                    ----------------------------------------

I recently received information that the Supreme Court overrode a lower
court's ruling in a case regarding a child with type I diabetes.  The
gist of the ruling was that this child (and all children with type I
diabetes) is now eligible for disability benefits as determined by the
Social Security Administration.  They also ruled that the child could be
paid benefits retroactively to 4 years ago.

I am wondering if anyone has information about this case, or, if there
is a more appropriate board on which to post this.

Thanks for your help,
Paul
