SSA CLASSIFIES STILL MORE CONDITIONS FOR QUICKER COMPASSIONATE ALLOWANCE
Social Security has added 13 more conditions to the list of "Compassionate Allowance" or "CAL" conditions. This brings the number of Compassionate Allowance conditions to 116. The recently enlarged list became effective December 10, 2011. The list was enlarged this summer as well.
According to SSA, "the [CAL] initiative is designed to quickly identify diseases and other medical conditions that invariably qualify under the Listing of Impairments based on minimal, but sufficient, objective medical information.
"If the condition does not meet these strict criteria, it will not be designated as a CAL case.
"All CAL-identified conditions are entered into the Predictive Model (PM) and are selected for CAL processing based solely on the claimant’s allegations listed on the SSA-3368 (Disability Report—Adult) or SSA-3820—(Disability Report—Child). Like Quick Disability Determinations (QDD), CAL cases will receive expedited processing within the context of the existing disability determination process." Program Operation Manual System (POMS) DI 23022.015
Go to
Social Security Internet web site for a complete list of conditions qualifying for CAL processing.
