 The Social Security Administration has recently added early-onset/young-onset Alzheimer's to the list of conditions under it's Compassionate Allowance Initiative.  This gives those that suffer from the disease expedited access to Social Security Disability Insurance and Social Security Income.

 Frequently, sufferers in this category are initially denied coverage from SSDI/SSI, and are forced to file an appeal while simultaneously facing the challenges of dealing with this disease.  By adding Alzheimer's to their list of  "Compassionate Allowance" conditions, the benefits application process will be streamlined.  This will hopefully result in receiving SSDI/SSI benefits in an expedited manner.
