Compassionate Allowances Lead To Quicker SSDI Benefits

The Social Security Administration uses the term “compassionate allowances” for a group of medical conditions that qualify to receive Social Security Disability benefits at a quicker than normal pace. These conditions, the SSA determined, are so serious that the government needs to provide benefits to such sufferers as soon as medical information establishes the existence of the qualified medical condition. SSA began the compassionate allowances program in October of 2008, and a Tulsa Social Security Disability attorney can provide assistance when considering applying for the program.

SSA recently held its seventh compassionate allowances public hearing. Each hearing’s aim is to gather medical experts in order to determine any additions to the list of medical conditions that qualify for the fast-tracked Social Security benefits. There are currently 88 conditions that qualify under the compassionate allowances program, with the list expected to grow to 100 by the end of the year.

Qualifying under compassionate allowances can be a great relief to patients, enabling them to receive benefits to treat their conditions as quickly as possible. In 2010, over 100,000 disability applicants qualified under the program and received its perks. As with all Social Security Disability applications, the compassionate allowances applications requires the submission of a complex application. A Tulsa Social Security Disability lawyer can help applicants maximize their chances of qualifying under compassionate allowances.

    I didn't think there was a caring professional considerate attorney firm on the planet, but Troutman & Troutman proved me wrong. From the receptionist to the legal assistance to the attorney and more they were exceptional people.

    They did a fantastic job getting everything gathered up and getting the trial done as quickly as possible. Anytime I had a question they were patient and help me understand what was going on. Especially Christy and Charlie were great.

    Steve Troutman was able to get my short-term and long-term disability for me. Then Erin another lawyer for their firm got my Social security disability for me. Great people.

    Mr. Troutman walked me through the entire process. Heather was available each time I called, answered all my crazy questions, and helped me fill out forms along the way. I was never treated like I was wasting time.
