What are the Common Challenges in Obtaining Disability Benefits for Cancer?
Obtaining disability benefits for cancer patients can be challenging due to several factors:
- The SSA's strict criteria for disability determination. - The need for comprehensive and up-to-date medical records. - Potential for multiple denials and the need for appeals. - The requirement to prove that the cancer or its treatment prevents the patient from engaging in any substantial gainful activity.
A disability attorney can help address these challenges by providing expert guidance and representation throughout the process.
