Disability w/MM

Posted by treehouse5437 @treehouse5437, Aug 2 3:48am

I have read that MM qualifies for Disability? has anyone applied either themselves or with a disability lawyer?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Blood Cancers & Disorders Support Group.

@treehouse5437 Here is a link to the Social Security Administration website regarding multiple myeloma as a claimed disability: https://www.ssa.gov/disability/professionals/bluebook/7.00-HematologicalDisorders-Adult.htm
You'll see there are specific criteria to adhere to, to qualify.

Many of us continue to work and live as normal as possible. Many of us have additional health concerns to deal with. I want to live as normal as possible. My myeloma was diagnosed after I had retired, and I am not eligible for a stem cell transplant.
