What is the quickest anyone has ever been approved?

2 years ago at the age of 55, my brother was approved for SSDI at the initial application process = 4 months.
Disability: back issues.

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

I know of a case in which the SSI application was submitted on a Monday, a presumptive SSI approval was input on Tuesday, a final award was made on Thursday. First check arrived the first day of the next month.

I was turned down in less than 2 weeks.fixing to do my appeal..My problem is I haven't worked in 9 yrs and dont have the required work credits.also turned down for ssi..not sure what my next step is..

Why were you denied for SSI? Assets too high, or you weren't found to be disabled per SS rules?
