Breast cancer usually qualifies you for disability benefits if any of the following is true:
• Your breast cancer is stage IV (stage 4) or metastatic, meaning it has spread to other parts of your body. Breast cancer with distant metastases and breast cancer that is inoperable or unresectable automatically qualifies for benefits.
• Your breast cancer is inflammatory breast cancer (IBC), which automatically qualifies for benefits.
• Your breast cancer is small cell (also called oat cell).
• Your treatment is expected to last for at least a year, and during that time you’ll experience significant side effects that make it hard to work.
