social security disability attorney




This information may help claimants with representation, as well as claimants who are not represented by an attorney or non attorney representative. Understanding how the Social Security Disability system works can make the difference between winning or not winning the continuing disability benefits and backpay to which a person is entitled. To win a claim for ongoing and past due benefits, claimants should learn about the disability process to improve their chances of winning.

What is the longest that social security can make you wait for a hearing?


Unfortunately, unlike many other programs, there are no deadlines that apply to disability claims. And this is true at any level in the process: initial claim, reconsideration, alj hearing, appeals council and federal court.

For this reason, an initial claim can take several weeks to process, or several months. Likewise, a hearing may be granted in two months time (increasingly unlikely no matter where you are in the country), or in eighteen months time.
