Can you receive long term disability for cancer?

The simple answer is Yes. A person can certainly qualify to receive Long Term Disability benefits because of having cancer. However, it is not the fact that he/she has cancer that qualifies him/her for benefits. In order to qualify for Long Term Disability benefits, a person must satisfy the requirements set forth by their Group or individual policy - which can be found by reviewing the definition of total disability along with the guidelines for Residual disability. Without getting too far into detail, the requirement to receive Disability benefits from a group or individually owned policy will be worded something like: To be considered totally disabled you must be unable to perform the material and substantial duties of your occupation (or "any" occupation, depending on your contract). Thus explaining that it is not necessarily Cancer that enables a person to receive Long Term Disability benefits, but rather the inability to perform his/her occupational duties that can be caused by cancer. In order to qualify for Residual benefits (benefits for partial disability), the debilitating injury or illness must cause a loss of income greater than 15-25%, depending on the policy.

Who will pay your mortgage and bills if you can't work due to an illness or accident?

Your insurance. Your work place has a long term disability policy, and if you qualify they will take care of you. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Also; If you qualify for disability, state disability usually pays partial wages..for up to one year, but I am not sure if that is true or correct for yours or any other given state, but my own. There's also SSI. Social Security benefits pay a monthly amount, for the length of your disability. I am not sure how that works in your state. Don't forget, there's also un-employment & other state/governed methods that can help supply food, etc. Contact your local Human Service's Department to find out what you could do in your state. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


What are the long-term effects of lupus?

Long term effects of lupus are entirely dependent upon the severity of the disease, how long the disease has been present, and the organs and tissues affected. Some lupus patients live full productive lives with normal life spans even though they have lupus. Other lupus patients live only days and die.
