Colon cancer is divided into 5 stages, from stage 0 to stage 4. Stage 4 colon cancer (earlier known as Dukeâs D colon cancer) is the last stage of this cancer. At this stage of the cancer, the cancer is said to have spread to other parts of the body, specifically the lungs, liver, and lymph nodes. Abdominal discomfort: Pain, cramping, bloating, nausea and gas may be felt by those with colon cancer. 2  Jaundice: Since the colon cancer has normally spread to the liver by stage 4, jaundice is also a symptom. 3  Other symptoms include unexplained fever, weight loss, fatigue, thrombosis.
The SSA recognizes degenerative disc disease as a condition that can cause disability; however, being approved for benefits with this condition can be challenging, especially if you are under 50 years of age. Seeking assistance in compiling the necessary medical records for proving your disability claim is advisable.
Texans with disabilities must first apply for benefits at their local Social Security Office and their applications are then forwarded to DDS by SSA for a disability determination; however, SSA is responsible for making final decisions as to whether or not a person is eligible to receive any Social Security benefits.f you have already filed a disability claim with Social Security, you may contact DDS about processing your claim at 512-437-8000 or 1-800-252-7009 with information or questions concerning your claim.
