Frequently, it may take up to 90-120 days for an application to be decided upon. What makes this matter even worse is that if you are denied, the application process may become even more drawn out. Unfortunately, an estimated 70% of SSDI claims are initially denied, so you should always prepare for the possibility of an initial rejection. By doing so, you will have a stronger estimated timeline of when you may finally be awarded the benefits you deserve.
With this timeline in mind, you should always begin your application for SSDI as soon as you have the proper evidence that your disabilities make you qualified for benefits. The longer you wait to file, the longer you may be kept in a situation where living the comfortable life you deserve becomes difficult. To do this, you will need to meet one of these two options:
* You have a documented disability that has affected your ability to work for a period of at least 12 months.
* You have a documented disability that is expected by medical professionals to affect your ability to work for a period of at least 12 months.
If you feel you have the proper evidence and documentation to convince the SSA of your need for SSDI benefits, you should begin preparing your application immediately. Sitting down with a social security attorney is the best way to go about this. With their experience filing applications and dealing with the SSA, you will be in hands that know how to best prepare you to become part of the 30% of applicants who are awarded benefits on their initial application.
To be able to file, however, you need to meet at least one of the following two options:
* You have been unemployed for at least one day.
* Your total earnings/assets have fallen before $1,090 a month.
