Binder & Binder® Social Security Advocates Launch Article on SSD Claim Waiting Times

HAUPPAUGE, N.Y., July 25, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Binder & Binder®, America's Most Successful Social Security Disability Advocates®, announced today they have posted a new article on their site titled "Why Do Social Security Disability Claims Take So Long to be Approved?" The article maps out the timeline involved with filing a Social Security Disability (SSD) claim and details what can speed up or slow down the process.

"Due to the backlog of cases the Social Security Administration (SSA) must process, it can take a minimum of three to four months just to receive an initial decision on your claim," said Mario Davila, Managing Director of Binder & Binder®. "Even if your claim perfectly meets Social Security Disability eligibility requirements and you are approved in the initial stage of the application process, if you cannot work that's still three to four months of trying to make ends meet while you wait."

Most applicants are not approved at the initial stage of the application process however. The article also covers how long the appeals process can take, and explains how hiring a Social Security Disability advocate can significantly speed up your claim.

"There are a lot of intricacies involved in filing for SSD which most people applying for the first time don't know about," said Davila. "At Binder & Binder® we handle tens of thousands of disability claims each year. We know what makes a successful disability claim and can dramatically improve your chances of winning your case the first time you apply."

Advocate fees are regulated by the government; they are the same no matter what stage the advocate takes on a case. If you've worked most of your life and paid your FICA tax, you're most likely eligible for Social Security Disability.
