The SSA’s computer system automatically flags applications where the person has a condition on the Compassionate Allowance list. Then that application is processed quickly and benefits are sent out quickly, usually within weeks.
There are dozens of conditions that qualify for Compassionate Allowance and more are added every year. Typically any condition that is very serious may qualify for Compassionate Allowance.
