Hi everybody, it’s Adam Quatrini from QuatriniRafferty, here to talk about Social Security Disability on this Legal Tip Tuesday. One of the questions that I get most often is “how long is this (Social Security Disability) process going to take me?” The truth is it’s going to take a while. The initial application period is 3 months (on average). 85% of people are denied at that level. You come back in, we appeal you, and that puts you in line to go in front of a Social Security judge. To get to the judge right now is anywhere between 22 to 24 months, so the takeaway is it is a very long process and the sooner you get in, the sooner we can get you in the system and get you the money that you deserve.
