WHAT IS A "COMPASSIONATE ALLOWANCE"?

 A compassionate allowance allows an individual to be approved for Social Security disability benefits quickly, simply by documenting a diagnosis of a qualifying disorder.  The complex evaluation is not required and benefits can begin quickly.

Social Security has a list of more than 200 disorders which qualify for a compassionate allowance.  The link below shows the complete list.

When applying for disability, it is the responsibility of the claimant (or attorney) to notify Social Security that a compassionate allowance is being requested.

It speeds up the process even more if the claimant or attorney will provide medical records showing a definite diagnosis of the qualifying medical condition.
