Frequently Asked Questions

To apply for Social Security Disability, you must first complete the initial application.

However, the best first steps are often speaking to your medical provider and a disability attorney.

We have a full post about this topic in our Learning Center: How to Apply for Social Security Disability.

Most applicants wait at least six months before getting a decision on the initial application. Many wait much longer.

Our staff tracks your application as it makes its way through the process, and we will follow up personally with Disability Determination Services to update your file with new relevant information and ensure that the case analyst has whatever evidence is needed to reach a decision.
