Ways To Get Your SSI, SSDI, Low Income Application Approved | Social Security Update 2022/2023
According to the SSA, it takes typically three to five months to get a decision on whether you qualify for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI). Most frustratingly, roughly 65% of first SSDI applications are said to get denied by the SSA. So, it’s possible you could be waiting a while to finally get your application approved. SSDI aims to provide relief for those with disabilities who can no longer work, or at the same capacity as once before. We reveal several ways below on how you can potentially expedite the process if you think you’re eligible for benefits. A reason your SSDI application could have gotten denied initially is that there may have been mistakes or you didn’t provide enough detail. Specifically, you’ll want to answer all the questions and provide as much information as possible to the SSA. For example, you’ll want to provide critical information about your employment history and medical treatment. This includes names of doctors and hospitals, dates of treatment, along with a list of your employers in the past 15 years with job titles and duties. You can file four levels of appeals – but the most important one might be requesting a hearing from an administrative law judge (ALJ).Although winning in front of a judge is far from a guarantee – you’ll have better odds in your favor than when you first submitted your application. It is said that the rate of approvals is 45% compared with 35% denials, and 20% dismisses. To maximize your chances of winning, make sure you get an experienced attorney familiar with SSDI.
