Benefits for Sjogren-Larsson Syndrome
As a rare cerebral palsy disorder characterized by a number of other severe symptoms, Sjogren-Larsson Syndrome (SLS) meets the Social Security Administration’s (SSA’s) medical eligibility requirements for disability benefits.
The SSA knows children and adults with SLS require significant supportive care throughout their lives. The severely debilitating nature of the disorder lead to its inclusion in the Compassionate Allowances (CAL) program, which ensures Social Security Disability (SSD) claims are reviewed more quickly and approved as often as possible.
