Thousands of Americans become disabled and thus, unable to work every year. Luckily, the Social Security Administration administers benefits to people with eligible disabilities. Regrettably, applying for and obtaining benefits can be a difficult and time-consuming process.
The Program
Enter the Compassionate Allowances program. This is a program that allows the Social Security Administration to make swift determinations for people with the most severe disabilities so that they can get the support they need in a timely manner.
Qualifying Conditions
Only certain conditions are eligible for the compassionate allowances program. A few examples include:
Advanced or aggressive cancers
Chromosomal abnormalities
Adult brain disorders
Rare pediatric illnesses
The Social Security Administration provides an ongoing list of conditions eligible for expedited disability approval. This list allows the Social Security Administration to make decisions without delay and may grant approval in a matter of weeks rather than months.
If you believe you have a condition that should qualify for the program that is not on the list, the Social Security Administration allows you to submit the name of your condition for consideration to be added onto the list. If you wish to submit your condition to be added to the list, click here.
