Social Security changes help people with early-onset Alzheimer's

Social Security Disability - Breaking News

The Social Security Administration (SSA) has added early-onset/younger onset Alzheimer's to the list of conditions under its Compassionate Allowance Initiative, giving those with the disease expedited access to Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). The Alzheimer's Association, a longtime advocate for those with early-onset Alzheimer's, has played an integral role in this movement to reduce the length of disability decision process.
Alzheimer's Association Statement

If you are affected by early-onset Alzheimer's, use our helpful checklist to make sure you have information and resources you need to apply for Social Security Disability and Supplemental Income benefits.
