Are you filling it out one line?....Have they sent you the long form for you, and the treating Drs to fill out?

You should hear from them initially from 4 to 6 weeks.....I forget what the % are, but very high failure rate first, and second time...

I think the fasted I heard to get approved was 4 month from start to approval.

Thank you for the reply.i joined todsy in hooes of some support its been living heck since his car wreck last june.he has a long road ahead.

I started my SSDI application in December 2016 but finished it in February before submitting it. I kept going back in and it said "processing". Today I decided to call my local SS office. The person I spoke to said it had been approved (!) but she wasn't sure why there had not been any payments yet. So she put me on hold a couple of times, said she was emailing the person who worked on it and said I should get a letter in 7-10 business days. It was approved effective Dec. 2016. So if you are waiting, and checking online, CALL THEM! I have been worrying about this for months, and running low on money in my checking account. I won't be making that much but it will certainly help, and it will only be 6-7 months of back pay. I feel like a weight is off my chest today.
