SSA Holds Compassionate Allowances Hearing on Autoimmune Diseases

If you suffer from a severe medical condition that will cause you to be disabled for more than a year or is expected to end in death, you may qualify for Social Security disability benefits.

According to a press release from the Social Security Administration (SSA), a compassionate allowances hearing was recently held to discuss autoimmune diseases.

Compassionate allowances provide a way of identifying severe medical conditions that automatically qualify under the SSA's listing of impairments without the need for extensive medical evidencing. This helps to speed up what can be a very lengthy process in obtaining Social Security disability benefits.

This recent compassionate allowances hearing was the 7^th to be held. Testimonies were heard from some of the United State's leading authorities on autoimmune diseases.

Autoimmune diseases, which mainly affect women and children, can be chronic, debilitating diseases that cause a significant financial burden. The hope is to provide those with the most severe conditions the ability to obtain Social Security disability benefits as quickly as possible.

There are 88 specific medical conditions and diseases that qualify for a Compassionate Allowance. 

If you suffer from an autoimmune disease you may qualify for Social Security disability benefits. Speaking with a Social Security disability attorney should be your next step in order to understand your legal rights.
