If you are waiting for a bone marrow transplant and can’t work because of your medical condition but you don’t meet the Blue Book requirements that must be met in order to get Social Security disability benefits you may be able to be approved for disability benefits with a residual functional capacity evaluation. Residual functional capacity means what you’re capable of doing, and the Social Security Administration will look at your residual functional capacity to decide if it’s possible for you to work or not. If they decide you can’t work because of your condition then you will be eligible for disability benefits.
