How long does it take to appeal a disability case ?


Since the facts of each disability claim are unique, there is no set time frame for the Security appeal process. Of course, the length of time it takes to appeal a disability claim may be significantly longer if you have to appeal your claim to an administrative law judge.

Currently, initial claims usually take 30 –90 days to process, reconsiderations take an additional 30 – 60 days, and hearingS may take over eighteen months to be processed.

There is very little you can do to speed up the process except to provide whatever information is required of you and appeal your denials timely.
