Social Security Disablity Insurance: Expansion of Compassionate Allowance Conditions

The Social Security Administration (SSA) announced in February that they are adding 38 additional conditions to their compassionate allowance list.

The SSA approves people who have disabilities that are listed on the compassionate allowance quicker than they would if they're qualifying condition was not listed on the compassionate allowance list. The SSA allowing 38 additional conditions to be listed on the compassionate allowance list allows people with those severe disabilities to be able to start receiving their benefits quicker than normal.
