If you’ve been diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer, the last thing on your mind should be how to make ends meet. Fortunately, there are Social Security resources available to relieve that stress.
Through Compassionate Allowances, a metastatic breast cancer diagnosis automatically qualifies you for Social Security disability benefits. Compassionate Allowances can not only give you financial help but also will speed up the application process. Normally, when someone applies for Social Security disability benefits, the process is quite long, with the decision process taking from six to 12 months. Qualified applicants for Compassionate Allowance will be approved in about three weeks and will start collecting benefits shortly afterwards.
