SOCIAL SECURITY EXPANDS DISABILITY NET

Social Security is widening its fast-track disability safety net, adding 14 more conditions to its Compassionate Allowances list in a move meant to slash months of red tape for some of the sickest Americans. The list now stands at 314 conditions and has already helped 1.2 million people get approved, with cases flagged by technology often cleared in days instead of the usual six to eight months. The new additions include rare pediatric and neurological disorders and deadly cancers like primary cardiac sarcoma — a blunt acknowledgment that for many families, speed is the difference between relief and ruin.
