2 The Compassionate Allowances Initiative (CAL) CAL s objective is to quickly identify conditions that invariably meet Social Security disability standards CAL initiative began with a public outreach hearing in December conditions selected for initial rollout (October 27, 2008) 38 conditions added on March 1, conditions added on July 30, 2011 Reached 100 conditions as of July 30, 2011 Adding 13 more conditions on December 10, 2011 Planning to add new conditions in 2012
3 How Do We Add CAL Conditions CAL conditions are identified and developed as a result of: Information received at public outreach hearings, Comments received from the Social Security and Disability Determination Service communities, Counsel of medical and scientific experts, and Our research with the National Institutes of Health (NIH)
4 Compassionate Allowances Public Outreach Hearings We have held seven hearings since 2007 The purpose of the hearings is to obtain medical expert and lay opinion on various possible candidate conditions Hearings are free and open to the public Hearing topics have included rare diseases, cancers, traumatic brain injury/stroke, early onset dementias, schizophrenia, cardiovascular diseases and multiple organ transplants, and autoimmune diseases National Institutes of Health has co-hosted each of the seven hearings Information and archived webcasts of the hearings are available at 4
5 CAL Hearings and Advocacy Groups As a result of the hearings, we ve built relationships with many advocacy groups including the: National Organization for Rare Disorders American Cancer Society Alzheimer s Association National Alliance for the Mentally Ill American Heart Association National Multiple Sclerosis Society Lupus Foundation 5
6 CAL Outreach: Moving Forward Budget restraints preclude us from planning CAL outreach hearings in the near future. We are continuing to reach out to advocacy organizations via meetings through teleconferencing, videoconferencing, etc. to learn more about potential conditions. We also plan to participate in webinars and conferences in the Baltimore/Washington area to share information about CAL. You may submit written comments about the Compassionate Allowances Initiative to:
7 National Institutes of Health Research In February of 2008, SSA signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) The MOU provides that NIH will help SSA to ensure that Compassionate Allowances are based on sound, up-to-date medical standards and science OCADO maintains a funded Interagency Agreement with NIH s Clinical Research Center This multi-year project leverages our data from the Disability Research File and combines it with the most current research regarding functioning and its relationship to rehabilitation outcomes
8 SSA-NIH Collaboration One of the activities under the SSA-NIH Collaboration is an effort to develop a data-driven method to quickly identify candidates for inclusion in the CAL program. To date, this collaboration has produced the following: A method to use SSA administrative data to construct survival profiles of current CAL conditions; A novel statistical test to determine whether any condition is a potential candidate for inclusion; A new list of proposed candidates
9 CAL Case Processing Matrix Claimant applies alleging a CAL condition Search and find software identifies CAL condition The impairment summaries are available to adjudicators at all levels (initial appeals) CALS may be manually added/removed at all adjudicative levels Case gets a CAL indicator alerting adjudicator that a case need to be fast-tracked Adjudicator has the option to click on hyperlink to an impairment summery Impairment summaries guide adjudicators in evaluation of evidence and policy application 9
10 Compassionate Allowances Impairment Summary ALTERNATE NAMES DESCRIPTION ULLRICH CONGENITAL MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY UCMD; Ullrich Disease; Ullrich Scleroatonic Muscular Dystrophy; Muscular Dystrophy Scleroatonic Ullrich Congenital Muscular Dystrophy (UCMD) is a rare form of congenital muscular dystrophy that is caused by mutations in the gene coding for the alpha chains of collagen VI (COL6A1, COL6A2, COL6A3), adversely affecting the production of collagen VI, which is needed for normal connective tissue and muscle function. UCMD is present at birth. Children born with UCMD generally have loss of muscle tone (hypotonia), loose joints (hyperextensibility), muscle weakness of the distal muscles (hands and feet), joint contractures, curvature of the spine (kyphosis), a wryneck (torticollis), hip dislocation, protruding heelbone (calcaneus), respiratory insufficiency, a round face with drooping of the lower lids, prominent ears (micrognathia) and skin changes (hyperkeratosis). Intelligence and brain activity are normal. Cardiac function is normal. DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, PHYSICAL FINDINGS, AND ICD-9-CM CODING The diagnosis is supported by abnormal immunoreactivity for collagen VI on muscle biopsies, genetic testing, serum creatine kinase (CK) concentration, and immunostaining of muscle tissue. EMG reveals myopathic changes while the nerve conduction velocity (NCV) is normal. ICD-9: Congenital hereditary muscular dystrophy 10
