Many Indiana residents wonder if they can receive Social Security Disability benefits for Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma is listed on the Social Security Administration’s website under the Listing of Impairments. Section 13.05 outlines the necessary conditions that need to be met to possibly receive Social Security Disability benefits. Section 13.05 states that a person can have either aggressive (fast-moving) or indolent (slow-moving) Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and may be eligible to receive Social Security Disability benefits.
Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma is a type of blood cancer that starts in a person’s lymphatic system. Your lymphatic system is the disease fighting part of your body; this may cause tumors to develop from your white blood cells.
Symptoms may include:
- Swollen Lymph Nodes
- Abdominal/Chest Pains
- Fatigue
- Fever
- Night Sweats
- Weight Loss
There is no clear cause of Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma but there are some risk factors. These may include: old age, certain infections, chemicals, and medications that suppress the immune system. Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma is far more prevalent than Hodgkin’s disease. Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma is the sixth most common type of cancer in men and fifth most common in women in the United States. There are many different kinds of Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. They can all be divided into two categories: fast-moving and slow-moving. Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma is formed by B-cells or T-cells.
