LMNA-CMD Added to SSA's Compassionate Allowance List

We're thrilled to share that after several years following Cure CMD's submission to the Social Security Administration requesting the addition of LMNA-CMD to the Compassionate Allowance List, this CMD subtype is now included.

The CAL list is SSA's way of fast-tracking help for people with the most severe medical diagnoses. Conditions on this list are considered serious enough to qualify for disability benefits and your application will be moved to the front of the line.

Special thanks to long-time Cure CMD volunteer, Charlene York for her tireless work in completing and tracking our application, and to Dr. Reghan Foley for her medical insights to ensure our application was successful.
