We've already touched on this rule, somewhat. Basically, it goes like this: if DDS, the Office of Hearings & Appeals, or the Social Security Office ever state that a decision or disability case-related event will occur by a certain date, rest assured that it probably will not. In fact, it may take three times as long as they say it will. Is the Social Security Disability System lying when it routinely gives out information that is so consistently wrong and inaccurate. Not really. The truth is, in most matters involving ssd and ssi disability claims, SSA (or any part of SSA's claim process) simply cannot give claimant's accurate "date" information. Why? Because, when it comes to disability claims, there's no way to know when a case will be completed... until it is actually completed. However, this reality also applies to other facets of the Social Security Disability system, as well. For instance, when it comes to payment processing for ssd and ssi claims. Claimants who are told that their disability back pay, or past due benefits, will be processed by a specific date are generally disappointed. In this matter, the truth is this: the social security office does not always process benefit payments (except in the case of SSI which is typically processed at the local office). Instead, a payment processing center often performs this function. And, if a claim has been approved by an Administrative Law judge, the case will be sent to a payment center immediately following adjudication. Good advice to follow is: when it comes to your ssdi (synonymous with ssd) or ssi claim, never completely rely on information dispensed by SSA's disability system. It is simply prudent to never take anything at face value. Disability Advocates Help with Claims Free Case Evaluation |
