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 looked through the comments, but I couldn't what I was looking for.
My significant other just received a kidney transplant 8/17, he went back to work full time 12/17. We notified our local SSI office and they indicated no matter how much he is making it is 12 months you will still receive benefits before they will end and no repayment? Is this correct?
Also we have a daughter and she gets survivor benefits right now, will this end at the 12 months too?
Thank you for your help!

Hi Kendra,
Your S/O may be eligible for benefits for 12 months after a transplant, and your daughter's benefits may end if she receives them based on your S/O's work record.

Hi Tracy,
I am sorry to hear that. We are not affiliated with the SSA, so unfortunately we cannot answer that accurately. You may want to speak with a Social Security attorney. You can do so by filing out this form:https://www.disability-benefits-help.org/form/free-disability-evaluation

Hi Mario,
The SSA determines disability by many factors, which in some cases includes factors like household income and work record. It may be a good idea to refer to the SSA's denial letter as to why you were denied.

Hi Alex,
While people receiving disability benefits may be eligible for a discharge of their federal student loans, I really could not say what would be a good course of action in your case. You may want to contact your loan servicer regarding this.

You may want to speak with a SSA rep regarding that.
I was diagnosed with cancer - multiple myeloma - back in Feb. 2017. I fractured my back in March of 207 and had to have surgery to repair the crack. The cancer spread to the base of my spine and my jawbone. I was taking radiation at the time. After radiation - I went straight into chemo for several months and then it was stopped so that I could have a stem cell transplant in August 2017. I was informed that once I had the stem cell transplant that I was deemed 100% disabled because now I do not have a immune system. I have to wear masks and gloves and am on a restricted diet because of the transplant. UNC helped me to apply for disability when I was in the hospital and I was given SSI for 6 months. That ended this month. I have called and continue to check on my disability claim and I am still being told that it is still being processed. It has been six months. I still take chemo. What more do I need to do and will I be approved? I contacted a lawyer and will be speaking with him tomorrow. What are my chances for approval? I have worked fulltime my entire life so I know that I have credits.

Hi Sonja,
I am very sorry to hear that. It seems like you are being very proactive and taking the necessary steps. I can't say for sure what your chances are of approval, but the more medical evidence you have of your conditions the better your chances are of winning your case. Wishing you nothing but the best.
Hi my daughter had a 5 organ transplant when she was 8 months. She has been on ssi since her transplant. She is now 14 and I just got a letter stating she is no longer considered disable. The only thing that has changed is that she started attending school. She still has a ostomy bag. I only live minutes from the school so when she needs help with that, I go to her school and take care of her. I try and keep her out of the hospital as much as I can for little stuff. If I take her to the hospital, they will admit her right away because she is fragile. So I try and manage as much as I can at home. I don’t know why she is disabled for 14 years and now all the sudden she is not

I was on dialysis for 4 years due to ESRD. I recieved my transplant in Dec. 2017. I recently talked to Social security and was told my benifits would not stop after 1 year because I was permanetly disabled. I thought I would only be eligible for 1 year post transplant. Now I'm confused. I don't want to keep getting it if I shouldn't or have a huge amount I have to pay back because of a mistake. What should I do?

I had a kidney transplant and Social Security approved me SSDI, but now they say I was overpaid because I went back to work before my 5 month waiting period. Anyone know about the waiting period.
What benefits are available for liver and kidney transplant? And, cannot hold down job due to too many hospitalizations per doctor’s orders for many small issues that keep popping up?
In reply to What benefits are available by Tim (not verified)
Hi Tim,
You can potentially qualify for disability benefits with a live and kidney transplant. You can check to SSA Blue Book listing to see if your case applies to the listing. You can also apply online if you choose to!
