Social Security Adds 12 New Compassionate Allowance Conditions
The expansion will speed benefits to thousands of Americans with disabilities.
Compassionate Allowances are a way of quickly identifying diseases and other medical conditions that clearly qualify for Social Security and Supplemental Security Income disability benefits. It allows the agency to electronically target and make speedy decisions for the most obviously disabled individuals.

Following are the new 12 conditions:
- Aortic Atresia
