Breast Cancer and Your Rights to Social Security Disability Benefits

We were all recently moved by Elizabeth Edwards posting before her untimely death that was a result of breast cancer.

If you have been recently diagnosed as having breast cancer, you may not be able to continue with your normal work activities. If your physician believes that you will be out of work for at least a year, you should immediately apply for Social Security Disability benefits.

Facing the diagnosis of breast cancer can be devastating and your attention is, rightfully, focused on getting the right treatment for you. However, it is important that you also apply for Social Security Disability benefits for breast cancer. One of the most important benefits of receiving Social Security Disability benefits is your entitlement to medical benefits.

Improved treatment can make the difference in the recovery from breast cancer.
