Social security help topics explored
A lot of social security disability applications are not approved when they are initially reviewed. Those claimants will then need to appeal to have their claims reconsidered. Claimants denied after reconsideration can file an appeal to have their claims heard before an administrative judge. By the time a case makes it through the hearing process, it may have been in the system for years. Each disability case is unique, which is why it is challenging to estimate the length of time it will take for a claimant to have a decision.
