According to a report from Health Day, older breast cancer patients are not receiving recommended radiation after mastectomy. In fact, between the years 1999 and 2005, just 55% of patients underwent radiation therapy that should have. If you are no longer able to work due to severe limitations caused by your health condition, then you may be able to receive Social Security disability benefits.
This is in spite of the fact that major guidelines have been endorsing radiation. Clinical trials have shown the benefits in radiation after a mastectomy and while there was an increase in them between the years 1996 and 1998, there have been no further increases.
Researchers have expressed concern over the fact that so many doctors are not following these recommendations. Deciding not to implement a treatment plan of radiation could cause further illness or subject patients to other types of treatment that is not necessary or ineffective.
If you would like to understand what the criteria are for the listing of impairments and if your health condition qualifies, then you should immediately speak with a South Florida Social Security disability lawyer. A disability lawyer can also assist you with filing or appealing your Social Security disability claim.
