Your Doctor’s Role in Your SSD Cancer Claim

Treatments for cancer, such as chemotherapy and radiation, can significantly limit one's physical and cognitive abilities. To secure Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits, it's critical that your physician thoroughly documents the impact of your cancer and its treatments on your ability to work.

Medical documentation—including details of appointments, medications, treatments, and detailed opinions from treating physicians—is essential in proving eligibility for SSD benefits. The Law Office of Charles E. Binder and Harry J. Binder will ensure your case is meticulously prepared, providing guidance on the documentation necessary to substantiate your disability claim.
