Congratulations Dew58! I do believe it does depend on what US State one lives in that can determine the length of time it may take to receive SSDI. In my wife's case it's been 2 years and we are in a congested region. For 5 years a business peer of mine who used to live 3000 miles from me in Washington State who's wife has RSD kept getting rejections from SS. They moved to Oklahoma to be near their son and was granted SSDI within a few months.
