What you have to prove
Meet listing via: (1) infiltration beyond the bladder wall, OR (2) recurrent after total cystectomy, OR (3) inoperable, unresectable, or metastatic disease.
Medical evidence SSA expects
Cystoscopy, biopsy, CT urography, and treatment records.
Common misconceptions
Superficial non-muscle-invasive bladder cancers treated with TURBT + BCG generally don't meet the listing.
Didn't meet the listing? You can still qualify via a Medical-Vocational
Allowance — SSA's determination that your residual functional capacity, combined with
your age, education, and work history, leaves no jobs you can do. See our
appeals guide for what to do after an initial denial.
