Cancer is one of the most serious diseases, which can affect various organs of the body in a dangerous way, making people fragile and even more weakened if they start radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy. To help in these cases, the INSS guarantees some social security benefits for those affected by this disease.

Thus, individuals with this condition are entitled to the following benefits:
Each condition will be explained below, but first, it is important to mention that people with cancer are exempt from the above benefits. That is, there is no minimum period required by law to fulfill the waived grace period, because this disease is classified as serious.
It concerns a social security benefit that the INSS pays to people who have lost the ability to work or carry out daily activities for more than 15 consecutive days. Cancer policyholders will be entitled to this benefit, provided they are unable to work partially and temporarily due to the condition.
The incompetence will be demonstrated in the INSS medical expertise. By carrying out this evaluation, the insured person will have the opportunity to produce all of his exams and medical reports to prove his condition.
Contrary to what the sickness allowance says, which is partial and temporary, disability retirement requires total and permanent disability from the beneficiary. Thus, in order for the incapacity to be proven, the insured person will undergo a medical examination carried out by the INSS.
In this case, the disease must prevent the insured person from working, including in other occupations. Therefore, disability retirement will only be granted if the condition prevents you from exercising any type of work activity.
Accident benefits are granted to policyholders whose work capacity has been reduced due to the cancer, taking into account the existence of sequelae caused by the disease, which will affect them for the rest of their lives. life.
In other words, the illness reduces the insured person's work capacity, but does not prevent him from working. Benefits are paid as workers are only able to work less.
Accident assistance is very common among people who have had a mastectomy (removal of one or both breasts), for example. This is because this procedure may result in some type of restriction on the movement of the insured person, which reduces their work capacity and, thus, creates the right to accident assistance.
