COMPASSIONATE ALLOWANCES
Social Security Compassionate Allowances In Michigan & Ohio
You don’t have time for slow bureaucratic programs to find help if you’ve been diagnosed with an aggressive, rapidly developing disease.
When you lose the ability to work because of a health crisis, Social Security Disability is one of the main programs to provide financial assistance. It comes with monthly income support and access to Medicare or Medicaid.
But it also can take months or longer to be awarded benefits.
It takes so much time because they make people clear multiple hurdles to prove they deserve benefits. But your condition obviously rules out working. It’s absurd that you have to go through this. You need benefits now.
What can you do? Social Security has a program to speed up their decision and rush financial relief—and a degree of peace—to you.
It’s called Compassionate Allowances. Social Security says it’s “a way to quickly identify diseases and other medical conditions that, by definition, meet Social Security’s standards for disability benefits.”
