Disability evaluation under social security (hematological disorders-adult)
source: Social Security Administration
year: N/A
summary/abstract:A. What hematological disorders do we evaluate under these listings?
– We evaluate non-malignant (non-cancerous) hematological disorders, such as hemolytic anemias (107.05), disorders of thrombosis and hemostasis (107.08), and disorders of bone marrow failure (107.10). These disorders disrupt the normal development and function of white blood cells, red blood cells, platelets, and clotting-factor proteins (factors).
– We evaluate malignant (cancerous) hematological disorders, such as lymphoma, leukemia, and multiple myeloma, under the appropriate listings in 13.00, except for two lymphomas associated with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. We evaluate primary central nervous system lymphoma associated with HIV infection under 114.11B, and primary effusion lymphoma associated with HIV infection under 114.11C.
B. What evidence do we need to document that you have a hematological disorder?
We need the following evidence to document that you have a hematological disorder:
– A laboratory report of a definitive test that establishes a hematological disorder, signed by a physician; or
– A laboratory report of a definitive test that establishes a hematological disorder that is not signed by a physician and a report from a physician that states you have the disorder.
