Dear Colleague:

On April 11, 2012, Michael J.  Astrue, Commissioner of Social 
Security, announced 52 new Compassionate Allowances conditions.

The Compassionate Allowances program fast-tracks disability 
decisions to ensure that Americans with the most serious 
disabilities receive their benefit decisions within days instead 
of months or years.  “Social Security will continue to work 
with the medical community and patient organizations to add more 
conditions,” Commissioner Astrue said.

Please see our press release 
<http://www.ssa.gov/pressoffice/pr/compassionate-allowances-0412-
pr.htm>  for details of the announcement.

For more information about the agency’s Compassionate 
Allowances initiative, please visit

I encourage you to share this exciting news with your members, 
colleagues, and other interested parties.

Sincerely,

Kojuan Almond
Acting Associate Commissioner
    for External Affairs
