Social Security accelerates decision-making process for those with severe disabilities
From Fox Business
"The Social Security Administration (SSA) announced a new process last week to accelerate its decision-making for those with severe disabilities.
The SSA's Compassionate Allowances program idetifies claims where an applicant's condition or disease clearly meets its statutory standard for disability, the agency said in a press release. Because of the severe nature of these conditions, the claims are often allowed based on medical confirmation of the diagnosis.
About 800,000 people with severe disabilities have been approved through this accelerated process, the SSA said. The program permits a total of 266 conditions."
