Blood and Lymphatic diseases are many and varied. They can range from Chronic Anemia to Hemophilia, from Sickle Cell Disease to Acute Leukemia, and from Chronic Thrombocytopenia to Myelofibrosis. Most blood and lymphatic diseases are disabling impairments, and can meet the qualification requirements set by Social Security to receive either Disability Insurance or Supplemental Security Income. There is what is known as the "Blue Book" that Social Security uses for reference. In this book are listed all of the diseases and conditions that are thought to be severe enough to keep someone from being able to get a job and stay gainfully employed. Blood and Lymphatic Diseases certainly have their place in this listing. These can be quite debilitating diseases, and as long as the applicant can prove that he suffers from one of them by providing Social Security with detailed medical records that verify his or her diseases and treatments, the chances are good that the Social Security Disibility claim they file will be approved.
