Vanessa's Comment:

The Social Security Administration has added Grade III meningioma to its Compassionate Allowances List (CAL), which will make it faster and easier for patients with this type of brain tumor to access disability benefits. Normally, applying for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) can take months or even years, but inclusion on the CAL means that applications will be fast-tracked with minimal documentation and quicker decisions. This is an important advancement for patients and families facing the challenges of high-grade meningioma, helping them get financial support more efficiently.
