Hematological and Social Security Disability

Blood disorders that can cause anemia, clotting problems, infections, or treatment-related work absences.

Hematological disorders can cause anemia, bleeding or clotting problems, infections, or treatment-related absences. Adult Listing 7.00 sets criteria for several blood disorders. Social Security generally wants hematology records, laboratory trends, and evidence of complications — not only a one-time abnormal blood count.

Official SSA resource: Listing 7.00 — Hematological Disorders

Hematological condition guides

  • Sickle Cell Disease

    SSA evaluates sickle cell disease under Listing 7.05 as a hemolytic anemia. Specified crises, hospitalizations, or hemoglobin findings can meet the listing; other cases are decided on complications and RFC.

  • Lymphoma and Leukemia

    SSA evaluates lymphoma under Listing 13.05 and leukemia under Listing 13.06. Some named blood cancers appear on the current CAL list; indolent or well-controlled disease is not automatically a CAL condition.

  • Cancer

    Cancer is evaluated under site- and type-specific listings in Chapter 13.00. A general cancer diagnosis is not one listing, and CAL status must be checked for the exact malignancy.

  • HIV

    SSA evaluates documented HIV infection under Listing 14.11. A positive test is not an approval. The listing requires specified manifestations or repeated complications with marked functional limits.
