When filing for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), it's important to understand the process and know the associated wait times.

Wait Times For SSDI Are Getting Worse

A report from USA Facts showed that the average wait time for a decision on disability benefits applications had reached a 14-year high of seven months. This has been blamed on years of inadequate funding, meaning the Social Security Administration cannot keep up with the demand for service and increasing fixed costs.

The wait times in Ohio are pushing out to over a year! Disability Determination Services, which assesses disability claims, has been hit particularly hard. "Due to historically high attrition as workloads become less reasonable with fewer staff."

The Social Security Office says in its fact sheet that the wait time is 3-5 months. Social Security Office Fact Sheet. This might be wishful thinking but it is far from reality.

Hiring an attorney can save you considerable time and effort and may even be the difference between being approved or denied for disability benefits. To make an informed decision, it's important to do some research and to understand how to work within the confines of the legal system. The right Social Security attorney is likely to make filing for SSDI much easier and may even help ensure your claim is approved promptly.

Your Social Security attorney will provide valuable advice and guidance on preparing for the hearing and ensuring that all relevant evidence is presented to the judge. They can also represent you at the hearing, where they can make a strong case for why you should be approved for disability benefits. Furthermore, a good Social Security attorney will also be able to advise on the best course of action if your claim is denied and suggest potential remedies that may be available to you.

...I had initially been denied by SSDI and my case went to hearing. Steve guided me along each step of the way and prepared me by helping me understand what to expect during the hearing process. My case was complicated and he sifted through a huge file, reached out to doctors and created a portfolio documenting why I deserve the benefits and how my conditions tie back to specific SSDI listed conditions.
