Does multiple myeloma qualify for SSDI under Bluebook 13.0 or 13.07?

Yes, multiple myeloma is recognized by the Social Security Administration as a qualifying disability. It's listed under malignant neoplastic diseases (cancers) in the SSA's Listing of Impairments.

While the search results don't specify the exact Bluebook section numbers 13.0 or 13.07, they confirm that multiple myeloma is included as a recognized cancer that can qualify you for disability benefits.

To be eligible, you'll need to meet several criteria:

- You must be unable to perform basic job tasks for at least 12 months
- You can't earn more than $1,620 per month
- You must be unable to do your previous work or any other sustainable work
- For SSDI specifically, you need a recent full-time work history

One MyMyelomaTeam member shared: "Myeloma is on the list to get permanent disability."

When applying, make sure to gather comprehensive medical documentation from your oncologist, including test results, treatment records, and detailed information about how myeloma affects your ability to work.
