Hello Vince,
I have not tried to get disability, and I could be wrong, but I believe if you have chronic anemia with an hematocrit less than 30 and require red blood cell transfusions on an average of once every 2 months then you may be eligible to apply. I believe platelets have to be less than 40,000 and you have to have had a spontaneous hemorrhage requiring platelet transfusion. In other words, you have to be in pretty bad shape before you are eligible. You are eligible also if you have to have a BMT or SCT. Good luck
