Uterine & Gynecological Cancer and Social Security Disability Benefits

Uterine, endometrial, and cervical cancers are physically exhausting and emotionally overwhelming. If aggressive treatment or an advanced diagnosis makes it impossible to work, Carmichael Law Group provides compassionate, determined representation to win the SSDI benefits you deserve.

Qualifying for Disability With Uterine or Endometrial Cancer

Uterine cancer — including endometrial cancer and uterine sarcoma — often requires immediate, invasive intervention. To qualify for SSDI, your condition must prevent you from engaging in Substantial Gainful Activity (SGA) for at least 12 consecutive months.

The SSA evaluates cancers of the female genital tract under Blue Book Listing 13.23. For cancer of the uterus (corpus), you meet the listing when oncology records show:

• Invasion of adjoining organs.
• Metastasis to or beyond the regional lymph nodes.
• Persistent or recurrent disease following initial anticancer therapy (radiation, chemotherapy, or hormonal therapy).

Listing 13.23 also covers cervical, vulvar, vaginal, fallopian tube, and ovarian cancers, each with its own criteria for advanced, metastatic, persistent, or recurrent disease.

Proving Disability When Your Cancer Is Caught Early

Many people suffer severe, long-term functional loss after gynecological cancer treatment, even when the cancer is in remission or was caught early. If your diagnosis does not meet the advanced metrics of Listing 13.23, we fight for approval through a Residual Functional Capacity (RFC) assessment.

We coordinate with your providers to document the disabling effects of surgery (such as a radical hysterectomy) and the therapies that follow, including:

• Severe radiation proctitis or enteritis — chronic, painful gastrointestinal damage from pelvic radiation that limits your distance from a restroom and prevents standard work shifts.
• Lymphedema — painful swelling in the legs and lower extremities after pelvic lymph node removal, making prolonged standing or sitting impossible.
• Profound surgical fatigue and nerve damage — chronic pain or pelvic floor dysfunction that impairs stamina, lifting, and mobility.

Nationwide Legal Advocacy With No Upfront Fees

Navigating a complex federal system while recovering from intensive pelvic surgery requires a skilled advocate. Carmichael Law Group represents claimants locally in Alabama and Georgia and nationwide, entirely on a contingency basis — no retainer, no upfront costs, and a fee only if we win your back-pay.
