I am 52 years old and have been disabled for 8 years due to renal failure. My question is, since I have had a kidney transplant, does my social security benefits end. If so when, because there is always a chance of rejection. If it does end, I do not want to be taken by surprise, will they let you know early enough, or will it be oneof those deals where they just cut you off, then inform you that you are no longer eligible?
I have been thinking about a kidney transplant but I also have degenerative disc disease, thyroid disease bulges in my lower back and every few months I have to have infusions for my lower leg also I have neuropathy from head to toe. If I get a kidney transplant, would these other conditions allow me to keep ssi cause I am in a mobile chair at times.

Hi Jason,
I can't say for sure, but those who apply for disability benefits after a kidney transplant generally get approved.

Hi.
I received my kidney and pancreas transplant toward the end of February 2017. I just received in the mail the Medical Review forms. I still have another 5 1/2 months until it's 1 year post-transplant! Is this a mistake? Do I have to fill out these forms or do I need to call or visit Social Security and let them know it's too soon?

Hi Tabitha,
The SSA may only cancel your benefits if you are able to work full time and make over 1,170 a month.
Received transplant a year ago but would like to try and work part time. Can I work part time and continue to receive SSDI and the benefits for my defendant child. As long as it's within the income limits and would the limits include dependent benefits?

Hi Jonathan,
You may be able to do so, it's a good idea to contact a local SSA office about this as they'd be able to give you specific information about your case.
I am 60 yo with Polycystic Kidney Disease. I am currently on the active kidney transplant list as of July 12, 2017. My gfr is 13%. I work part time and would work full time during tax season. Don't think I will be able to continue working due to fatigue and lack of concentration. Would I be wise to apply now for SS diability or wait until transplant?

Hi Kathy,
You will automatically qualify for Social Security benefits after your kidney transplant.
