Compassionate Allowances


Does your disability qualify for an expedited disability claims process? In October of 2008, the SSA launched its "Compassionate Allowances" program which is intended to allow for an expedited application process for individuals suffering from certain illnesses.

A list of approximately 50 conditions, ranging from schizophrenia to stroke was released and the Social Security Commissioner, Michael Astrue, said that they hope to add more impairments to the list. He also stated that they hope to fast-track more than 150,000 cases under the program in fiscal year 2010. 

According to the SSA, "Compassionate allowances allow Social Security to quickly target the most obviously disabled individuals for allowances based on objective medical information that we can obtain quickly." 

View the list of 50 conditions that are considered under the Compassionate Allowances program.
