Under Social Security Disability there is a listing for Cancer. Disability requires more (unless terminal) than just having had cancer or having cancer. Generally it is the procedures you go through and or the resulting damage to your body that can result in your being awarded disability benefits. Below I have set out some types of cancer that are listed under Social Security Disability:
Head and neck cancer;Sarcoma;Sarcoma of soft parts; Malignant melanoma; Lymph nodes; Salivary glands; Thyroid glands; breast; Skeletal system; Mandible maxilla orbit or temporal; Brain spinal cord; Lungs; Pleura or mediastinum; Abdomen; Esophagus or stomach; Small intestine; Large intestine; Liver or gallbladder; Pancreas; Kidneys,adrenal glands or ureters-carcinoma; Urinary bladder; Prostate gland; Testicles; Uterus; Ovaries; Leukemia; Uterine tubes; Penis; Vulva.
