What happens after I file my disability claim ?After you file your Social Security disability claim, you will begin the disability “waiting” game. What does this mean? Simply that Social Security disability and SSI claims take time. For instance, your initial disability claim will be sent to the state agency responsible for Social Security disability decisions, and it will remain there for approximately 30- 90 days. While it is there, it will be assigned to a disability examiner and that individual will start ordering your medical history records and will evaluate them as they begin to arrive. While your claim is being processed, you may be asked to go to a consultative exam, known as a CE and commonly referred to as a social security medical exam. Or you may have to fill out and return additional paperwork such as a daily activities questionaire or a work activity report. If you receive a denial of your disability claim, you will have to begin the appeals process to continue pursuing your disability claim.
