How Long Will Filing for a Social Security Disability Claim Take?

Hi, I’m Lew Insler from Insler & Hermann. We’re going to talk a little bit today about time frames that are involved in filling Social Security Disability claims. We’re always asked how long is this going to take? Well, the entire process is probably going to take over a year. Sometimes, as much as a year and a half. Most people are denied the first time around. After that, you either file a reconsideration or you file for a hearing depending on where you live. The reconsideration typically takes a bit less time and is usually a rubber stamp for the initial denial. Waiting for a hearing can take as much as a year and a lot of people want to know, what can I do while I’m waiting. You can go back to work. However, the amount that you earn may have an impact on how long you’re able to receive benefits once they’re approved. You can also receive benefits from other sources. You can get workers compensation. You might be eligible for no fault benefits. You might be eligible for veteran’s benefits and you can even settle a personal injury lawsuit if that’s what led to the injuries or impairments that caused you to file for your claim. There is a way to expedite the hearing process. It’s called dire need. Social Security considers someone to be in dire need if they’re in danger being of either evicted or foreclosed. Realize that most people who are filing for Social Security Disability are having a lot of financial trouble. Unfortunately, because of that, Social Security is not going to expedite your hearing. You’ve got be in this dire need situation.

Proper Steps to take to Avoid Social Security Claim Errors

Hi. I’m Lew Insler from Insler & Hermann. We’re going to talk about the most common mistakes we see with Social Security Disability claimants and when you should retain an attorney. The hardest part about a Social Security Disability claim is the initial application and the daily activity questionnaire. They come at the beginning, so get the attorney involved from the start to help you deal with the hardest part of your case, the most stressful, and the time when you have the most questions. Also, we win the initial claims at a far greater rate than the national average. The percentage of cases that are won at the later stage, particularly at the hearings, has also decreased. So you’re maximizing your chances of success by having us represent you right from the start and helping you with your initial claim.
