My earlier article suggested that the Compassionate Allowance program would be administered by your state’s Disability Determination Services (DDS) office.
However, new information shows that the Compassionate Allowance program can be used at any stage of the administrative process. That would be any stage before the case goes to Federal Court, including the application, appeal, hearing, even at the Appeals Council.
If a claimant is diagnosed with any of the 50 currently eligible conditions, ask to have the case flagged for fast-track processing under the Compassionate Allowance program.
Have you tried the Compassionate Allowance program? Leave a comment and tell us how it worked out.
