The Social Security Disability Application process is a lengthy one and consists of two levels: Initial Application and Hearing. There are likewise appeals after the hearing level, yet they are more uncommon and less powerful than the two principal levels.
You will need to begin by filing your Initial Application. At the point when an individual initially applies for Social Security Disability, it is known as the Initial level. It for the most part takes around 4-6 months to get a decision back. The Disability Examiner will demand clinical records and gather proof based on the information gave in your application. On the off chance that there is an absence of proof or clarification is required, a Consultative Exam (CE) might be planned. At the point when the record is finished, or all clinical proof has been processed, a Medical Examiner will settle on a decision.
On the off chance that your application was denied at the Initial Level, the following is the Hearing level. Once the Request for Hearing has been filed, the document is sent to the neighborhood hearing office. A hearing is then booked and the petitioner shows up under the steady gaze of an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ), who settles on a decision based on clinical records and testimonies from the inquirer and master observers. At this hearing, we would represent you, and present to the ALJ all the clinical proof we have gathered together. This entire process takes 12-18 months (longer in other states), yet has the highest success rate.
