Can you speed up the Social Security Disability process ?There are a few things which may speed up the processing of your Social Security disability or SSI claim. However, most of this simply involves doing what the social security administration asks you to do. What are some of the things that Social Security may ask you to do during the disability process? Social Security may ask you to obtain additional information for the development of your claim (information about your medical history, daily activities, or work history), or they may request that you attend a consultative medical examination. If you do not provide the information that is requested or attend the medical exam that they schedule, the decision on your case may be delayed or your case may even be denied on that basis. Another tip for speeding up the Social Security disability process would be to file your disability denial appeals as promptly as you can. If you take the maximum sixty-five days that are allowed each time you appeal a disability denial (the deadline at all levels is sixty days and social security also gives you an extra 5 days for mailing your paperwork), you will have added an additional four months to the processing time of your SSD or SSI case. This is assuming, of course, that you will have to appeal your claim through to the hearings level. But for most individuals, a disability hearing will be necessary.
