applying 4 disability

[Deleted]

How long does it take to receive a letter or notice if your able to receive notice whether or not able to receive?  Or do they automatically deny yeah the first time or two?

Took me 3 times on the 3rd denial they stated I should see their Drs I went to see them and they said they didn't understand why I had been continuously denied I was approved very shortly there after. Make sure you make it a continuous cycle denial appeal denial appeal etc etc as long as it takes, if you break the cycle you start over where as if you continually appeal you will receive back pay from original file date.

Well, I thought so. From my understanding they automatically deny yeah. From what I've gotten told they wait until the last minute and then send you a denial letter. Most people from what I gather have to fight for it for years. Why is that? I've heard people say the excuse that was given to them. Most of the time, the government states a person still is able to work, even if they are not able to. Granted some people that are on disability are able to work.

almost everyone gets denied the first time around. I know someone that was denied twice and on the third time they were approved after a hearing in front of a judge in lasalle.

About 8 years ago my brother in law applied & received benefits right away, 1st application. One of our dear friends applied 6 years ago, & like our B-I-Law, he was given benefits immediately. So don't be fearful or discouraged, both of these men had heard the same horror stories, but when one is clearly disabled (last stages hepatitis C & the other last stage Cystic fibrosis) the way seems fairly easy. All my est:-)

A Lawyer will speed up the process, but will cost you 15% (a one time fee) good luck.

One thing I can tell you is DO NOT reapply! Then they don't have to pay you from the time you applied on. If you just appeal it no matter what! They only have 90 days to inform you of their decision...could be sooner as they don't want to pay anymore then they have to, to you. If you need any help feel free to message me I have helped several people get their benefits.

May as well give your check to medicare.
Cause it is going to cost you.

Premiums for part a is 427 a month and part b is 104 a month.
And anyone receiving ssi and is working are being now switched over to disability insurance due to changes in social security.

And depending if your eligible for the extra help ,Medicaid will cover these premiums if you qualify.
However your income must not exceed the max limit for Medicaid which is 1,330.00.
If it is,you will lose your Medicaid and will have to pay these premiums yourself out of pocket for medicare.

I thought they discontinued the ssi program. I know that there is still the ssdi program.

When I talked to ssa the person didn't say anything to me that the gov't was doing away with ssi.
He said that anyone on ssi that is working will be switched over to disability insurance if you worked enough credits.
The ones who never worked or hasn't worked enough credits will continue getting ssi.

My question is, when a person worked for x amount of time, and ends up having some sort of health issue to inhibits them to work, and they apply for disability, why does it take awhile to get approved?

[Jaded]

It also depends on the disability...I know that some get approved faster than others...just keep appealing the denial

The person that I was talking about, applying for disability, called the Social Security office this afternoon, was told that they have 4 to 6 months to send the denial letter to the person that is applying. Why so long? This person would like to at least receive the letter so she can appeal. I am just hoping that it does not take this person years before she gets approved. From different people that I've talked to, it took some about three to four years while others are still fighting to get approved. and it is a bummer that they don't receive back pay neither. From my understanding they don't do back pay anymore. That was costing the government too much money. Does the disability office actually look at the application for the high denials or just sit and what until the last minute and just decide to send denial letters or what? How do they decide?

My friend just got approved. Took 2 1/2 years. After initial denial he got a lawyer. He did get back payment from initial date.

usually after the second denial you get a hearing in front of a judge in lasalle.
