Add Comment Question: how is cancer viewed in this program Answer: I’m not sure what you mean by your question. What program? If you’re asking whether cancer qualifies someone for long term disability the answer is that it depends. If because of the cancer or it’s treatments you are unable to work then you should be considered totally disabled for the purposes of getting long term disability benefits.
