A congressional inquiry may help move your disability claim faster if it is languishing at the disability agency or at the your local Social Security office. But your congressman can only influence the attention given to your disability claim, relative to timely processing of the claim. If Social Security is processing your disability claim in a timely manner, your congressman’s call may not be helpful. The disability claim process may take many months from beginning to end. There are numerous factors that influence how long it takes to process your disability claim, such as acquisition of medical records, scheduling social security consultative exams, and attaining information from you and your third party. All of these factors are important to the timely processing of your disability claim. Therefore, you should cooperate with all requests made by the state disability-processing agency in a timely manner. Also, you need to make sure that the Social Security Administration has a current address and telephone number for you, while your disability claim is being processed.
