If you appeal your Social Security disability claim, how long does it take to receive a decision ?


If you appeal your disability decision, the time frame for a decision will be determined by which appeal level you are at.

What do I mean by this statement? If your disability claim is at the reconsideration level, you may expect to receive a disability decision in 30 – 60 days. However, if your have appealed your disability claim to the administrative hearing level, it could be a year or more before you receive a disability decision.

Why does it take so long to receive a disability hearing decision? Social Security has huge hearings backlogs, due to lack of proper funding.

Social Security needs to hire more employees to process hearings in a timely manner, and until this happens you will have to endure long waits for a social security disability or SSI disability hearing.
