How can you speed up Social Security Disability ?


You can help speed up your Social Security disability claim by responding to all state disability claims examiners requests in a timely manner. Remember if you do not respond to calls or letters your claim may even be denied for failure to cooperate. If you have Social Security consultative examinations be sure an attend them or reschedule them, however you should keep in mind if you have to reschedule your exam you are adding to the time it takes to process your disability claim. Another way to speed up your Social Security disability claim is to file your disability appeals as soon as your receive a denial notice. If you wait the full disability appeal period you have potentially added another four months the processing time of your disability claim. What can you do if your claim is at the hearing review level? Unfortunately there is not much you can do to expedite your claim at this level. You can file a dire need letter to try to expedite your disability claim, however there are so many dire need requests due to large hearings backlogs in most hearing offices across the nation, therefore it is unlikely your dire need letter will expedite your hearings review request.
