It is every woman's fear — hearing a diagnosis of breast cancer. But with early detection and proper treatment and care breast cancer is becoming less of a threat to life every year. But make no mistake, the effects of the disease and the side effects of the treatment might impair your ability to work and participate in everyday activities.
The Social Security Administration (SSA) recognizes breast cancer and the effects of treatment as an impairment that qualifies for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits. If you or your loved one has been diagnosed with breast cancer and are unable to work because of the illness or treatment, talk to a member of the SSDI claims team at Berger and Green. Our lawyers and staff members offer aggressive, effective representation for people filing SSDI disability claims in Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ohio.

In addition to benefits for breast cancer disabilities, the SSA includes many types of cancers and related diseases as qualifying impairments which would prevent people from earning a living in the workplace, including:
- Breast
