How long does the Social Security Disability Process Take?
It generally takes longer to process claims for disability benefits than other types of Social Security claims- from 60 to 90 days. You can help shorten the process by bringing certain documents with you when you apply and helping us to get any other medical evidence you need to show you are disabled. These include: the Social Security number and proof of age for each person applying for payments including your spouse and children, if they are applying for benefits;names, addresses and phone numbers of doctors, hospitals, clinics and institutions that treated you and dates of treatment;names of all medications you are taking; medical records from your doctors, therapists, hospitals, clinics and caseworkers; laboratory and test results;a summary of where you worked and the kind of work you did;a copy of your W-2 Form (Wage and Tax Statement), or, if you are self-employed, your federal tax return for the past year; and dates of prior marriages if your spouse is applying.Do not delay filing for benefits just because you do not have all of the information you need. The Social Security office will be glad to help you. For Help Now go to: http://www.socialsecuritydisability.tv
