According to the National Cancer Institute, cancer causes almost one in four deaths in the United States. One in three Americans will eventually have some form of cancer in their lifetime. Advances in medical technology have improved the outlook for many cancer patients. Some cancer patients are able to recover and live full lives. Even if treatment is unsuccessful, people may live for a number of years before succumbing to the disease. Most people with cancer are not able to work while they are undergoing treatment for their disease. Further, cancer treatment, such as chemotherapy can create fatigue, nausea, weakness and other problems.
If your cancer will prevent you from working for 12 months or longer, you are entitled to disability benefits. Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is intended to help people who cannot work. Wherever you are at in the process, a disability lawyer can be of great assistance in helping you recover the benefits you need. Attorney Tim Cuddigan of the law firm of Timothy J. Cuddigan can prepare your claim to give you the best possible chance to get the benefits you need. We represent disabled people across Nebraska and western Iowa.
The SSA will base its decision on your application for benefits on medical evidence. Therefore, it is vital to have a full medical record. We will coordinate with your doctors to get this information. We will outline exactly how cancer and your cancer treatment has kept you from working. Even if you have already been denied for benefits, we can take a look at your case. We take disability claims at any stage in the legal process.
