my husband has had two allo transplants in four years, he did not file for disability the first time, he did the second time and was approved within 3 weeks. Still there is a waiting period between diagnosis and when payments kick in.

Not always a good thing as far as prognosis is considered, hoping to beet the odds! Certain blood cancers are put on the fast track, not always where you want to be though.


You almost want a fight as they think you are healthier. Strange world we live in when, when the threat of dying soon qualifies you for SSDI or an early trial. Happy to be there in some ways, but again realize how the dire the situation is, feel free to PM me.

Wishing your family member well
