The process of applying for benefits can often be a long one. Oftentimes resources at the Social Security Administration (SSA) can be strained. With the extra burden placed upon the SSA due to COVID-19 which results in lower staff levels and even longer wait times, it can be even harder to break through all of the red tape to get quick approval.
Even under normal circumstances, it can take a while for a disability application to be approved, but what if you or a loved one have a condition that is life-threatening or will severely diminish their quality of life?
This is where Compassionate Allowances come in. The Compassionate Allowances program identifies claims where the applicant’s disease or condition very clearly meets the Social Security Administrations statutory standard for disability. In other words, Compassionate Allowances are health conditions that will move your application to the top of the approval queue.
These conditions include certain cancers, adult brain disorders, ALS, and more.
