About
The Compassionate Allowances Program allows the Social Security Administration to quickly target the most obviously disabled individuals for allowances based on objective medical information. In 2011, the SSA announced the addition of seven congenital heart diagnoses to the Compassionate Allowances Program. Check to see if your defect or condition is on the Compassionate Allowances List to help expedite your case. You can find additional general information about applying for disability by clicking here to be directed to the ACHA website.
