Expedited disability claims
It takes the Social Security Administration about four months on average to process all the claims for disability benefits. That’s just the initial application because, in reality, it can take many more months, even years, to completely appeal a claim that was initially denied.
Waits like that can be particularly hard for people with severe or worsening illnesses. That’s exactly why the Social Security Administration decided to create the Compassionate Allowances program, a list of over 250 serious medical conditions that, by definition, meet the needed Social Security standards for disability.
Moreover, applications for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) involve all the conditions that are instantly flagged for fast-tracking and can also be approved in a couple of days.
