Now There’s Even More Security For The Disabled.
There's Even More Help For Kids With Disablities
As of March 2010, Social Security has added Adds 38 New Compassionate Allowance Conditions to American with disabilities. Social Security has an obligation to you and your family to provide benefits for people who have severe medical conditions that obviously meet disability standards.
Commissioner of Social Security,Michael J. Astrue, announced the agency has added 38 more medical conditions to its list of Compassionate Allowances that assist those with disabilities. This is the first expansion since the original list of 50 conditions which consist of 25 diseases and cancers, was announced in October 2008. The new conditions range from adult brain disorders to rare diseases that primarily affect children.
“The expansion we are announcing today means tens of thousands of Americans with devastating disabilities will now get approved for benefits in a matter of days rather than months and years,” said Astrue.
Astrue said the commission will continue to hold public hearings to further advance the listings of Social Security Allowances for those with disabilities.
