Well, it really depends both on the case and the doctor.

Some of the doctors send their reports in to us same-day or same-week. Some take a month. Very rarely do they take longer, but it has happened. If I am not receiving a report within the month we are calling the office to find out why.

After I receive a report, it really does vary. I could approve or deny the case the same day. I might need another doctor to review the case which can take another week or two. We might (rarely, but it happens) need to send you to a second exam for additional or more specialized information, in which case obviously it will take longer.

The best thing for you to do is call your examiner up (they should have phone numbers on the letters they have sent you) and ask about the status of your claim. He or she can let you know if they are waiting on the report or what is happening. I am sorry that I cannot give you a more definite answer but unfortunately there is no definite answer

Good luck!
