In actuality, whether a disability decision (ssd or ssi) takes longer or shorter than the average processing times quoted by the social security office makes no difference. Each claim for social security disability or ssi disability is different, and in so many differnt ways. To begin with, caseloads in each state are different, due in part, at least, to population specifics. Secondly, disability claimants are all unique in the sense that they all have different medical problems and, in fact, a claimant who has psychological or psychiatric problems in addition to physical impairments may find that their case requires more processing time. Thirdly, an applicant for social security disability or ssi benefits has no control over who will process their case. Their case may be assigned to a disability examiner who is faster, one who is slower, one who has fewer cases to work on, or one who has too many cases to work on. And of these factors may influence how long it takes to process their disability claim. Another factor that is typically involved, as well, is the wait time for medical records. Disability examiners make decisions on disability claims, but cannot make such decisions until a claimant's records have been received. And, unfortunately, some providers are very slow about processing record requests (for this reason, a claimant may find it wise to obtain their records and submit them when they first apply). In short, how long it takes to get a disability decision is neither a good sign nor a bad sign. Disability Advocates Help with Claims Free Case Evaluation |
