Don’t know if this is helpful, but I applied for and received approval for disability payments from the Social Security Administration. It took about six months and it would have taken much longer had I not been vigilant in calling and trying to move the process forward. I have stage Pt3b Gleason 8 with spread beyond the prostate into the prostate bed. If you apply to SSA for disability, make sure you push for the Compassionate Allowance review to get expedited approval, otherwise you might be waiting years. You can google the Compassionate Allowance program to see the criteria for approval. Good luck.
