Disability Due to Hematological Disorders

Social Security classifies a series of malignant and non-malignant hematological disorders as disabling. Nonmalignants disrupt the normal development and function of white blood cells, red blood cells, platelets, and clotting factor proteins. The malignant ones are the cancerous ones. In both cases, they can be disabling and affect the person's performance at work.

Hematological conditions that could qualify for benefits

There is a list of hematologic conditions that may qualify for disability benefits. Some of these are:

• Hemolytic anemias
• Thrombosis and hemostasis
• Bone marrow failure
• Lymphoma
• Leukemia
• Multiple myeloma
• Coagulation defects and hemophilia

There are other conditions on Social Security's list considered disabling. Social Security evaluates each case individually. Get advice to see if your case could be considered for Social Security disability benefits.
