Nice to hear

Did he get approved at a hearing ?

@@beaubostick7837 no hearing - initial application - lots of medical records to support the claim and over age 55 which helped

Awesome!

@@mariannabarbowski121 yes mine was issued the same way. It put me back on top where I was before and some before the 3 year waiting period for SSdi. The stress that comes off your spirit when you know bills will be covered forever and the stress of a boss telling you what to do everyday like a robot. That's over with.

Just remember you have a protective filing date of Oct 2019 and they must start paying from that date on

Is this for SSDI ? I was approved dec 31. They explained it’s 5 months wait, my 1st payment is due July

@@edwinrodeo no when you are approved for SSdi on paper your backpay should be coming less than a week. They give you half in your account and send the rest in the mail. The 5 month thing is the first 5 months is a waiting period they don't count towards your backpay. Everybody who gets approved for SSdi has to suffer this 5 month rule. If you have received any documents in the mail stating you are approved your money should be coming less than a week. If not something is wrong or someone is lying to you.

It sounds like you've been through quite a journey with your Social Security Disability case. It's not uncommon for the process to take some time, and changes in judges can sometimes occur. The final exit interview is typically a routine procedure where the Social Security Administration (SSA) will go over the details of your benefits, answer any questions you may have, and ensure that all necessary paperwork is completed. As for setting up your bank account for direct deposit of your benefits, this is a common practice and can make it easier for you to receive your payments.

I wish you well. I got denied 2 times and now I'm waiting on a hearing date. It's been over two years now. It definitely sucks not being able to work and watch all your belongings dwindle away.

It’s a long time waiting, so many people are filling, staff is short , lots of turnover ( low pay) It used to be 6 months approx. Now it can be up to 2 years depending on information etc etc , every case is different I wish everyone the best 🙏

I truly understand how challenging this waiting period can be, and I empathize with your situation. The 66% you're seeing is an estimate of how far along you are in the process, not a reflection of your approval chances. Each case is unique and the time it takes can vary. It's important to stay patient and positive during this time. Seeing a doctor assigned by the Social Security Administration is a common part of the process, and it helps them gather the information they need to make a decision. In the meantime, I highly recommend utilizing our free Disability Digest membership. This membership includes a step-by-step approval course and live support, which can provide guidance and potentially ease some of your anxiety.

My application is at 42%. It says it takes about 405 days for a decision. They expect the DDS review to take 11 months. I applied in November 2023. Is it accurate the time frame they give?

I am not able to guarantee payment. If you do not get paid what you are due you can appeal

Welcome!

It can really take longer than expected.. I understand this frustration. Backpay for SSDI and SSI are handled differently. SSDI backpay is typically paid as a lump sum covering the time from the approval of your disability application up to your first monthly SSDI payment. SSI backpay, on the other hand, is usually paid in installments. If you haven't received your backpay yet, it would be a good idea to contact the Social Security Administration (SSA) directly to inquire about the status of your backpay. We have a video that explains more about backpay. You can watch it here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gtV2d9SGtrTGhnk.html. Hope this sheds more light on it.

I didn’t receive a CDR either, don’t worry it’s not a bad thing, I was told they pushed me in a 7 year redetermination box , which means I’m basically untouchable ( according to the regional manager) I’m 63+ At 60 I wouldn’t worry about nothing. At that age most of the time they don’t bother , the disability would have to be very limited to get reviewed. Honestly don’t worry. I wish you the best 🙏

I understand your concern and confusion regarding the letters you've received. It's important to get this clarified. The best course of action is to directly contact your local Social Security office or your attorney. They can help you understand the details of your case and guide you on the next steps. If you're having trouble reaching them by phone, you might want to try contacting them via the online portal or by mail.

This means that a representative began the final review process for your appeal on July 8, 2024, in Kissimmee, Florida. Typically, this stage takes between 15 to 30 days to complete. I know waiting can be tough, but you're getting closer to a resolution. If you have any questions in the meantime, I'm here to help!

According to SSA's rules, it can be easier for people over the age of 50 to get approved for disability benefits. This is because the SSA recognizes that older individuals may have a harder time learning new skills or transitioning to different types of work. However, being over 50 doesn't guarantee approval. The SSA still requires proof that your condition prevents you from doing any gainful activity, not just your previous work. For more information on how age affects Social Security Disability claims, you can watch this video: kzfaq.infoUInmtXb9GbY.

They lie over over over they never give you the right answer I was approved reconsideration I’m getting back little over 10k it’s been at the payment processing center since July 23rd 2024 it’s now August 8 I know it can take 30 days it go quick I didn’t need a lawyer they are messed up with how they give you the run around

Yes, Cindy, your understanding is correct. When you reach your full retirement age, your Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits automatically convert to retirement benefits, but the amount remains the same. At that point, the earnings limit that applies to SSDI beneficiaries no longer applies to you, and you can work without affecting your Social Security benefits. However, it's important to note that while you're receiving SSDI benefits (before reaching full retirement age), there are limits to how much you can earn from work. In 2024, you can earn up to $1,550 per month without affecting your eligibility for SSDI benefits. We have a video that explains more about working while receiving Social Security benefits. You can watch it here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/osyleZulvrnWmI0.html. Hope this helps!

@@TheDisabilityDigest thank you!

Setting up your bank account for Social Security payments is a straightforward process. You don't need to wait for the ALJ decision to get started. You can contact your bank to set up a direct deposit account if you don’t already have one. Once you have your bank account details, you can call Social Security at 1-800-772-1213 to provide your account information. This way, if your claim is approved, your payments can be directly deposited into your account without any delay. If you need further assistance, feel free to ask!

@@TheDisabilityDigestwow ok thank you

@@TheDisabilityDigest OK I have one more question so I’m waiting for my answer for the AL J I have a lawyer and we did over the phone in March so I called Social Security the other day and they told me that they ran to see if I have enough credit for SSDNSSI she told me I have more than enough credits for SSD. Is that a good sign?

@@TheDisabilityDigestThat is good to know. I will be calling them soon. I received a fully favorable decision from the ALJ on May 31. Now I’m just waiting on award letter from SSA.

@@Lela70 wow that is great news. Is that when you saw the ALJ I had my hearing on 28 March and I have not heard anything yet. Did they tell you when you were in court?

yes, my backpay was deposited into my bank account approx. 1 month before the award letter arrived in the mail

I'm truly sorry to hear about your accident and the challenges you're facing with your disability claim. Have you appealed your denial? Many people are initially denied but find success upon appeal. Are you providing all necessary medical evidence?

@@TheDisabilityDigest Yes on the medical records. I even sent them photos of my fingers. They sent me the appeal papers so I guess that is my next step. The accident gave me something called CRPS. I never feel well because of it.

I can only imagine how challenging this wait has been for you, especially with such a significant date coming up. Hang in there, and hopefully, your persistence will pay off soon with your Social Security Disability benefits.

Not from what I can see but you would need to contact an expert, not sure if this guy would respond But usually the best SSA would do is 12 months back pay. Maybe I’m wrong but good luck 👍

Congratulations on your SSI approval! It's great to hear that you've received your back pay and first monthly check. Regarding the award letter, it typically takes a few weeks to arrive after your approval, but there can be delays. Given that your approval was on April 4, 2024, and it's now mid-June, it's understandable that you're concerned. Here are a few steps you can take: 1. Contact the SSA: The Social Security Administration (SSA) can provide you with the status of your award letter. You can call their toll-free number at 1-800-772-1213 or visit your local SSA office. 2. Check Your Mail Regularly: Sometimes, mail can be delayed or misplaced. Ensure you're checking all potential locations where it could be delivered. 3. Verify Your Address: Make sure the SSA has your correct and updated mailing address to avoid any delivery issues. It's important to follow up as the award letter contains vital information about your benefits. If you continue to experience delays, reaching out to the SSA directly is your best course of action.

@@TheDisabilityDigest Thank you so much. I really appreciate the help.

Yes, the judge to ruled favorably for me. The hearing was canceled. Just waiting for the judges actual paperwork showing that it was approved. It's been 2 long years.

When you did the initial application online, they asked for checking and routing number.

Thank you so much I've had so many surgeries since then I can't remember even filling it out

They will then call or mail you a form to fill that your payment will be deposited in a benefit card This is the same as most underprivileged or homeless received their money

I appreciate the information thank you very much

I felt like I was forced into changing my disability filing date .

@@emanuelwilson9275 me too. My Lawyer told me that i had a better chance if i switched the dates so instead of waiting 3.5 years , it’s 2 years

Your phone or iPad picks up everything you say, if you said it that’s why you get this stuff

What state are you from?
