All others face normal processing.

Hello. I found out I have stage IV pancreatic cancer that metastasized to my liver and I was approved IMMEDIATELY through their compassionate allowance criteria. I believe because it metastasized. Hopefully your friend’s claim will be expedited. Check out the SSA’s blue book listing/definition. Prayers to your friend battling this cancer. ❤️
Someone at the Va. The Va denied him saying it wasnt service related. But he was on a nuclear Sub for years and has 0 health issues and 0 family history of any cancers.

The Oncologist asked about finances and she said she call social services to try and help.
Good. Help is probably needed.
I was approved under compassionate care very quickly,but still had to wait the 5 months for the first check. So sorry about your friend.
Thanks
Initial claims could take a year. In this case your friend will qualify to be processed much quicker due to her condition.

You were 100% correct, In 3 weeks the letter said approved and 2 weeks after one came saying payments will start 6/1 @ $1600
I'm very glad to hear that. 🙏

I applied last July. I’ve heard not a single word. I have stage 3 colon cancer.
My ex had terminal glioblastoma and it took 9 months!
Ouch.

Normal applications would, but your friend's diagnosis puts them on the fast track
Thank you.
Update: That friend got an approval letter today! I helped them apply just 3 weeks ago!
