Rectal Cancer Victory
We won Social Security Disability for a rectal cancer survivor. We won benefits back to 2021. It did take two hearings. The first time the judge refused to accept the opinions of the claimant’s doctors. The judge even ignored the opinion of the reviewing Social Security doctor at Reconsideration. At the time of the second hearing, the judge agreed to send her case to be reviewed by an independent cancer doctor. This will result in $60,000.00 in back benefits. The independent cancer doctor agreed the claimant could not function in “any” type of work.
