Q: How long does a claim take? A: For applications that are complete and filed appropriately, the usual turnaround time for the initial review process is 3 or 4 months. Lack of medical information is the biggest reason many applications take more time than the average. Assuring that your claims representative has all the required information is key to avoiding delays. If your application was denied social security disability benefits after the first review step, your next steps would be filing for reconsideration and, eventually, an appeal for a hearing. Reconsideration and an appeal for hearing will, of course, add time to your process.
