Social Security Disability ApprovalSome Social Security disability claimants would say that it is difficult to get a disability approval. The most difficult part of the disability process is the length of time it may take to attain a Social Security disability allowance. Statistics across the nation suggest that roughly 30 percent of all disability claims are allowed at the initial level and about 15 percent are allowed on the reconsideration level, which means that about forty five percent are allowed in the first two levels of the disability process. Do not be discouraged if you are not allowed at the first two levels because your chance at winning a disability approval at the hearing review level are good. It has been estimated that of the claims that are received at the hearings review level sixty percent of disability claims with representation win at the hearing level and forty percent of the disability claims without representation win at the hearings level. It would be safe to say that about 70-75 percent of all disability claims that go through the entire disability process from initial to hearings level are approved. This disability process may take more than eighteen months, depending on the backlog of disability claims at the Social Security hearings office. Once you are approved you will receive letters from Social Security informing you of your Social Security disability approval and what your disability benefit amount will be.
