Florida Disability Appeals Representation
Filing for Social Security Benefits is a lenthy and time-consuming process that can take almost 2 1/2 years from the filing of your initial claims application until you get a decision from an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ).
After you submit your initial claims application, the Social Security Administation takes almost 90 days to process your case. Most are denied Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits at Stage One. You file an appeal of the initial denial by filing a Request for Reconsideration and, unfortunately, most disability claim appeals are denied within 90days yet a second time.
