Each year, the Social Security Administration receives thousands of applications for benefits. Evaluating each claim and coming to a decision takes an enormous amount of time. In fact, most claimants don’t receive a final verdict until a year after their first application.
Under the new compassionate allowances initiative, eligible claimants may see their cases decided within a week. Here are some conditions that may qualify you for compassionate allowances:
- Early onset Alzheimer’s disease
- Adult non-Hodgkin Lymphoma
- Some traumatic brain injuries
- Lowe syndrome
- Liver (and some other forms of) cancer
- Cardiovascular disease
- Erdheim Chester disease
- Multiple system atrophy
The full list now includes 88 diseases and conditions, so if you’re suffering from an ailment that isn’t on this list, you may still qualify. To find out if your condition will be considered for expedited handling, refer to the complete list here or contact the Social Security Disability attorneys at Tucker Lawyers PC.
