Social Security Questions

erin thompson Nov 2015Question: How do I apply for disability benefits? And, how long does it take to get a decision after I apply for disability benefits?

Answer: You can apply for disability benefits online at www.socialsecurity.gov/disabilityssi/apply.html. To get a decision on your disability application usually takes three-to-five months. The time frame can vary depending on

  • The nature of your disability;
  • How quickly we can get your medical evidence from your doctor or other medical sources;
  • Whether it’s necessary to send you for a medical examination; and
  • Whether we review your application for quality purposes.
