Years ago it was a easy min 4 months but was more like 8 or 9.....Over the years SS is being cutting cut left and right now they are just overwhelmed by the workload....

Maybe now those numbers are doubled?....I filed my SSDI over 11 years ago, lots has changed and our politicians couldn't care less how long it takes us to file or even if we are approved....sad times, I hope you hear something very soon!

Thanks for your answer.

No, no attny..I consulted 3: one declined to take take the case and 2 said if I got to the judge level they would take it. So I have been on my own.

Bummer, the rule was file yourself first, and if declined hire a SS attorney....I hope it all works out for you....Lots of stress just waiting and wondering!

So, I called the national 800 number Friday and after 30 min on hold was told

" You were approved and should have gotten an ward letter and payment by now"
They looked and said I needed to go to my local office to get some things resolved so payment could be released.

SO I ran down spent 3 hours there and was told ...

No you answered those questions by phone in late May... Your claim is just waiting at the processing center to be done. IF you do not hear by mid Aug come back.

AUGGGG so frustrating!!
