How long will it take to get approved for my disability benefits?
One of the most frequent questions we hear at the office of Disability Help Advocates is regarding the timeline for approval. While the Social Security Administration’s process can be lengthy, our experience with over 1,200 cases allows us to streamline your filing. Typically, an initial decision takes several months, but if an appeal or hearing is required, it can take longer. We focus on ensuring your documentation regarding back pain or other ailments is exhaustive from the start to avoid unnecessary delays and help you get paid faster.
Do I qualify for Social Security disability if I have depression, heart disease, autoimmune, PTSD or other chronic issues?
Qualifying for benefits depends on whether your condition, such as depression, heart disease, autoimmune, PTSD or other chronic issues, prevents you from engaging in substantial gainful activity. Disability Help Advocates specializes in proving the medical necessity of your claim by highlighting how your physical limitations interfere with your specific job duties. Because we have helped approximately 1,200 people with similar struggles, we understand exactly what medical evidence the state needs to see. We offer a free consultation to review your specific medical history and determine if your condition meets the strict federal eligibility requirements.
