I applied May 31 2011. Approved 1st week of August 2011 for SSDI and SSI.

Here.....or in the history of the SSA ?

My sil got her approval about 1 month after she applied. She was a true warrior who continued to work for a year after her dx with stage IV breast cancer with mets to the liver. After multiple rounds of chemo and her second brain surgery for further mets to the brain, she had to stop working. She passed away last summer.

My approval took 3 years. I didn't start the process until I had already been unable to work for over a year because I was hopeful that treatment might have helped me.

my lawyer sent me to the office to apply,i walked out that same day approved.how i knew..the last question they asked me in the office is"do you have your bank routing#acct

They ask for account info from all applicants.

the first time they didnt but the 2nd time they did .the reason they told me they needed it to send me my check

2 months for me, I have Parkinson's. A lot of states have state provided/funded advocates that do all the work for you and I mean all of it! Check with your local Mental Health center, or Vocational Rehab, maybe Hospice to find advocates that do not charge.

2 1/2 months for Bipolar Disorder II. Two shorts reviews. I'm over 60 now and was due for a review a couple years ago. I guess they're just going to let me slide.
