How long will it take for me to get a decision on my SSDI or SSI benefits?

A: The disability benefits timeline will depend on a variety of factors when it comes to getting a decision on your SSDI or SSI application. To improve your chance of success or to get a decision back faster, it may be to your benefit to seek help from an Indiana Social Security disability lawyer.

In most cases it will take a long period of time before a decision is made. And with the number of applicants continuing to increase as a result of aging baby boomers and Americans being out of work, the process may be drawn out even longer.

In the past 10 years, the number of applications for disability benefits has gone up almost 50%. With the struggling economy, many are turning to the government for help.

It can take months or a year before a decision is reached. Some applicants may even find it takes 2 to 3 years before their cases are finally resolved. 

Keep in mind that most initial claims for Social Security are denied. If that happens, then your wait is extended. However, you could improve the chance of having your initial claim approved and shorten the disability benefits timeline by enlisting the help of an Indiana Social Security disability lawyer.

A lawyer who handles these types of cases will make sure you have all of your paperwork filled out completely and correctly. He or she will also ensure you send it in on time and to the right parties. Additionally, a lawyer can make sure you have all of the necessary documentation and information that you will need in order to prevent a delay. The claims process can be made much easier with legal counsel on your side.
