Trustworthy SSD Representation For Cancer Patients
If you are unable to work because you are being treated for cancer or due to residual side effects of cancer or cancer treatments, you may be eligible for SSD or SSI disability benefits. While Social Security often expedites claims involving cancer, some people have a difficult time getting approval for a claim involving side effects of cancer that have limited the individual’s ability to work.
This can include lasting conditions such as:
- Weakness
- Fatigue
- Swelling
- Lymphadenopathy
- Respiratory issues
- Gastrointestinal complications
- Lack of memory or concentration
- Other side effects of the cancer or the treatment for cancer
Many of these are proven to be residual effects of ongoing therapy or chemotherapy, and can be severely limiting to the individual, even after the individual is cancer-free.
