If you suffer from a serious medical condition that prevents you from working, time is of the essence when it comes to receiving a decision on your disability application.</p>
|
||
<p>In some cases, we’re able to expedite the application process through our Compassionate Allowances program. Social Security uses <a href="https://blog.ssa.gov/compassionate-allowances-speed-help-to-people-with-severe-disabilities/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Compassionate Allowances</a> to identify people whose medical condition is so severe that they obviously meet our disability standards. Under the Social Security Act, we consider you disabled if you can’t work due to a severe medical condition that is expected to last at least one year, or result in death.<span id="more-2938"></span></p>
|
||
<p>Many of the claims in our Compassionate Allowances Program are approved based on medical confirmation of the diagnosis alone; for example, pancreatic cancer, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and acute leukemia. Acting Commissioner Nancy A. Berryhill said it best: “Social Security is committed — now and in the future – to continue to identify and fast-track diseases that are certain or near-certain to be approved for disability benefits.”</p>
|
||
<p>Today, almost 500,000 people with severe disabilities have been approved through this fast-track disability process, which has grown to include a total of 228 conditions. Recently, three new Compassionate Allowances conditions were added to the list: CACH — Vanishing White Matter Disease-Infantile and Childhood Onset Forms, Congenital Myotonic Dystrophy, and Kleefstra Syndrome.</p>
|
||
<p>Our Compassionate Allowances program speeds help to people with severe conditions. If you or someone you know has a severe disabling condition, don’t wait.

<p>My wife has diabetes and most recently has had a detached retina in her right (dominant) eye. Her sight will be impaired for a long time, particularly here depth perception.<br />
|
||
She is 64 and we wonder if she would be eligible for Compassionate Allowance / Disability adjustment to her monthly benefit?</p>

<p>The condition described is not on the compassionate list. Have her apply for disability and she might be approved. Do not post personal information in an open blog, identities can be stolen.</p>

<p>Hi James, we do not base an individual’s benefit amount on the severity of their disability. We base it on their average lifetime earnings before they became disabled under our rules. <a href="https://www.ssa.gov/compassionateallowances/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Compassionate Allowances </a>are a way to quickly identify diseases and other medical conditions that, by definition, meet Social Security’s standards for disability benefits. In those cases, we’re able to expedite the application process through our <a href="https://blog.socialsecurity.gov/compassionate-allowances-fast-track-help-to-those-who-need-it-most/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Compassionate Allowances program</a>. Social Security uses Compassionate Allowances to identify people whose medical condition is so severe that they obviously meet our disability standards. Thanks!</p>

<p>Hi Michelle. Generally, survivor’s benefits are paid at a higher rate. Sometimes, a person may be eligible to more than one benefit at the same time. For example, you may be eligible for “<a href="https://www.ssa.gov/planners/disability/dqualify10.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">disabled adult child</a>” on your dad’s record and also qualify for survivor’s benefits on your mother’s record. Under current law, a person’s benefit amount can never exceed the highest single benefit amount to which that person is entitled. While is possible for a person to be eligible to more than one benefit at the same time, we are only going to pay the highest benefit amount from either records. To see if you’re eligible for a higher benefit than what you’re receiving now and to discuss your options, contact us at 1-800-772-1213 between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Monday through Friday or visit your <a href="https://secure.ssa.gov/ICON/main.jsp" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">local Social security office</a>. Thanks.</p>

<p>Be ready to wait for hours to speak to someone. Just like you wait for years to get approved for benefits even after working and paying FICA for 30+ years. Your system is broken Ray and it’s so corrupt that SS makes people wait for over 3 years to get what they had deducted from their paychecks every week.</p>

<p>Don’t worry about Yrump…Congress is already doing it whilst we’re distracted by the Twitter rants…It’s all included in that “big, beautiful ‘tax cut'” – what did people think was going to be CUT to pay for them?? Cutting SSDI by 20% for those few already on it whom they deem “disabled enough” not to work, and & REQUIRING everyone else receiving it to work; eliminating Medicare via the block grant idea…yes, the states will each receive a fixed amount (set by Congress annually) to provide as a tax credit to each Medicare recipient on the purchase of a policy on the “open market” – we all should know how well that’ll work, eh? That’s not even 1 of dozens of cuts to programs meant for elderly & disabled that will literally kill most of us relatively quickly. Better pray, hope, wish, or whatever you believe in that this tax plan is NOT passed. Better yet, call & write your Congresspersons in House and Senate & tell them NO NO NO!!! Think I’m just being political? Read the actual Bill for yourself (NOT what newscasters or politicians say) at Congress.gov. You’ll be horrified.</p>

<p>We are sorry to hear about your husband’s medical condition. Unfortunately, and because of security reasons we do not have access to personal records in this blog.<br />
|
||
If your husband needs help managing his Social Security benefits, you may be interested in applying to become your husband’s <a href="https://www.ssa.gov/payee/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">representative payee</a>. As a representative payee, you will be able to talk with us and have access to your husband’s records and update his account information.<br />
|
||
To become your husband’s representative payee, you will need to visit your <a href="https://secure.ssa.gov/ICON/main.jsp" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">local Social Security office</a> for a face-to-face interview. A statement from his doctor would be helpful. The statement should say that your husband is not able to -mentally and physically- manage his Social Security benefits and identify you as the person responsible to keep his affairs in order.<br />
|
||
Please read our publication: <a href="https://www.ssa.gov/pubs/EN-05-10076.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">A Guide For Representative Payees</a> for more information. If you have specific questions, or to make an appointment, please call 1-800-772-1213. Representatives are available Monday through Friday, between 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Generally, you’ll have a shorter wait time if you call later in the week. Thanks.</p>
