Is anyone out here on disability and how long did it take you to get it approved?

Question

It will be two yrs. on Nov. 2008 that i have waited to go to court with my attorney for disability.

Answer 1

my brother 37 months severs diabetic my sister mcs 39 months but they pat retro to the time you applied both received benefits plus a 40,000 plus check

Answer 2

I might be able to provide a suitable answer, but I need to know what type of disability insurance you are referring to.  For example, Individual Disability, Group Disability (through your employer), State Disability, or Federal Disability (SSDI).  Each of these have different guidelines and laws governing the benefits themselves.

Answer 3

The system is seriously flawed. After the initial denial, which took over 5 months, I appealed and went before a judge. This took over a year. Denied again, I appealed again, all the way up to filing a lawsuit with the Feds. The entire process took over four years and I did not qualify.
