To answer this directly, Yes lymphoma may be a basis for a disability insurance claim. This can be true however about almost any illness, if it affects your ability to work.
When requesting disability benefits from an insurance company or Social Security disability, it is not the condition being treated that they are interested in knowing, but more so the limitations this condition is causing you. More specifically, they want to know about the limitations caused by this condition in relation to your work. An insurance company will not pay a claim based on the type of illness you have. They will pay based on your inability to perform the tasks of your occupation, or perhaps any occupation.
For example:
If you have a low stage Lymphoma that is not affecting your ability to complete the tasks required of you at work then you will most likely not qualify for a benefit. However, if you have an advanced stage Lymphoma and are receiving heavy dosages of radiation and chemo therapy that are preventing you from doing your work, then you most likely will have a good case for receiving Disability benefits.
